the cat
waits for her enemy
to make the first move
though this foe
has his eye
on better prey

against a backdrop of ink
he smiled his pearly white smile
and raised a pale hand to the sky
beckoning them to come
and offer their hearts and souls
at his altar
and knowing full well
what this entailed
the sheep came
to lay at his feet.

they say
that i let others control my life
but if they're right
that would mean
that the only people in the universe
were me and you

i don't know
what you think of her
but I don't think
my heart could handle it
if i did

love is blind
or so they say
it must have been
when i drew your number

i wish you'd notice
when I'm not there
or when I look at you
in memories
in my head
without opening my eyes

you're always right
or so says my heart
when my mind clearly tells me
that you're not even close
