Ahhh…Bitten by the kitten.
And you were infected deeply

What is one to do now?
Retracting her claws, teeth clenched
She stretches out, and repositions her body
with the flick of a claw a pink strand is moved from her face

However she is Pondering now…dangerously
Once she deliberates, the game is over
She is slipping back into a reoccurring nightmare
No longer able to ignore

Tap, tap, tap
Flipping her tail in a fickle manner
Edgy and distressed with confusion
An unsettling place for anyone to reside very long

Inhale, exhale
Something so simple, seems like such a task
Pupils now dilated, her brow hangs heavy over her almond eyes
A part of her is ready to rip her way out, at your expense

Her large paws grip the ground beneath her as she stands
Eyes darting around the room, stomach aroused with a selfish hunger
It is easier to be distant, than close
Easier to be cold, than to be warm

Licking her lips around the raw edges of her mouth
I wonder who will be the next prey?
hmmmm
And so does she. Chilling to think it might be you

Or are you the predator?
Is she entangled in her own trap of mind?
Is her anguish a product of your intensity?..
Questions that remain unanswered

Step in closer to her, you know you want to touch the softy silky fur
But she is watching you from across the room
Will she allow you to be close?
Close enough for you to feel the warmth of her breath?

No. How foolish, she has been this way for so long
It is a game she plays, 2 steps forward, 4 steps back
no, 5 steps back.
Maybe even 6, seems to be her lucky number

To pursue such a creature is foolish
Put yourself out there, tame the wild beast
Perhaps you wont finish last this time, perhaps you will
Hahhah, not trying to mock you..but it is rather amusing

Tap tap tap, her tail is flipping rapidly now
Just as you reach out to calm her
She claws. In one flash, your flesh is shred
You are bleeding, and she has disappeared.. you moved to swiftly

You had been kind to her, nurturing
Why would she harm you?
It is in her nature to be that way, wild and free
Yet you are confused and angered by her unwillingness to simply trust

As she remains in hiding, you wipe the blood that is trickling down your arm
She isn't coming out now, you exposed her weaknesses
It is up to you to learn this lesson
Move on, there are other Kittens out there.

Goodbye kitten. Goodbye.
