Don't cross my path
I've heard such bad things
But the look in your eyes
Reaches out to my heart
Your soft purrs call out to me
The intimate caress as you rub against me
I relax and shut down the walls of superstition
The warmth of your thick dark coat
Shiny as freshly woven silk
Dark as a moonless sky
You nestle against my bosom
Happiness consumes me
Then it happens
I blink
You swing
Scratching at my very soul
I scream in anguish
Running to safety
It's too late
Life torn to pieces before my eyes
What will reverse this curse?
I flee in hopes
Trying to recapture my life
Jumping as I think you're lurking in shadows
Though beautiful to behold
Beware the black cat
