You had me at ...

by Kitty Cat Lady   Sep 14, 2017


Your utter charm seduces me
Yet your heart is made of stone
You're only here for what you can get
But you want to call this home

First you want in, then you want out
You change your mind like the wind
I can't keep up with your demands
My love I should rescind

I always do your bidding
But you treat me like your staff
Then soothe away my worries
I bet you're having a right laugh

If I ever dare try change you
You lash out and show me who's boss
You're clever and you're stealthy
I'm out of pocket and at a loss

Surely we should be partners
I gave you my home and my bed
I wish I could tell for just a second
What on earth's going on in your head

You have no respect for my boundaries
Not a care for what's wrong or right
You spend the whole day sleeping
Then party all through the night

And yet I just can't ditch you
My heart just won't allow
For you and I both know the truth
You had me at meow.

    Loved it. I love your rhyming, the ambiguity. I know a friend who has a cat just like yours who would definely enjoy reading this too. Really enjoy reading your poetry. Each poem brings a new subject in a recognisable style. A well deserved nomination Milly

      Aw, thanks Lucifer :-)
      Now don't be scared ... the only thing you need to do to make friends with a cat is ignore it ... they can't bear indifference ;-)
