Cat's Breath
You are the cat that stole my breath.
I was deep in sleep when you snuck in.
Your sleek body crouched down
and crept up, just like your kin.
You pounced on my soul like paper
to be played with by a house cat.
I let your spirit take the bite.
I let myself become the toy mouse
filled with catnip, for your pleasure.
I knew you needed my healing
and I had plenty of energy to give.
Foolishly, I thought I had no feelings.
