Death Cats
I creep through my house
In middle of a stormy night
I am on the hunt for a glass of milk
But little do I know
I am the prey
Of what I thought was my sweet, gentle pet
Before I can finish my glass of dairy
Something in the corner catches my eye
I look around for any danger in sight
I suddenly see the eyes of pure evil
In the dark shadows before me
Like Satan is living in my own home
Yellow and bright, they stare through me
To them, I am just tonight’s dinner
I quickly attempt
To return to the solace of my bedroom
It appears that in the dark of the night
My gentle kitty, is now the source of my fright
Fierce like fire
It leaps from its hiding place
It glides like a butterfly of pure poison
And I am horrified
I open my mouth
But no sound comes out
I try to scream
But only a whisper escapes my lips
Because when the claws like daggers
Slide across my face
When its jaws slowly sink
Into my warm flesh
I try to fight it
But its strength is uncontestable
When the life drains from my body
And my eyes go dark
I smell the rancid breath
Of the savage feline
The illusion of the harmless house cat
Fades into a wild predator
Willing to carve out my organs
It plays in my dead carcass
And swims in my pool of blood
When my body is no longer my own
And my soul drifts away from this world
My only regret
Is that the friend that I once snuggled
Was the cause of my doom
The death cat sings its praise
And licks the bits of meat
In the crevices of its daggered teeth
It feels no regret for killing
Even when his former master lies dead at its feet
