Kitty, kitty

Kitty, kitty
touchy, twitchy
Kitty, stop your fidgeting
Take your meds,
clench your teeth
Kitty, don't forget to breathe

Kitty, kitty
Ugly eyes
No one wants to hear your cries
Kitty, kitty
Pretty lies
False promises
the scorn, the sky
Kitty,
with such futile screams
Kittens drowning in the stream

Kitty, think
Kitty, stop.
Kitty, where'd you get those scars
says nobody,
there are none
Kitty splitting at the seams
Kitty, don't forget to dream

Kitty, kitty
run away
never fine, not okay
meet the hills, seize the day
Kitty, don't forget to play

Kitty, kitty
little paws
Kitty, with the
bloodstained claws
in her head
(in her heart?)
Kitty, will you fall apart?

Matted fur
wild green eyes
Kitty, kitty
Start to fly
Kitty, kitty
take right off
polished knives
snapping jaws
gleaming red and gleaming teeth
Make them forget how to breathe.
