Replying to a comment on:
behind the banister (Free verse) by FreeFormFixation
We met eye-to-eye;
you: on the desk,
me: in the chair.
I wish I really understood
why you hopeed through my window
that night.
Calico, how can you sit
up on the windowsill looking so sweet?
You'll tear me in strips.
While I sleep,
you'll rip me to bits.
But I'll chase you off.
I'll chase you off.
Get off my lawn, get off my lawn
get off my lawn.
Calico, I'll never know
why you came.
But I know why you stay.
You'll tear me in strips.
You'll rip me to bits.
But I'll chase you off,
get off my lawn.
I came home from work
and the bedskirt was frayed,
the curtains pulled down
from their poles.
The carpet was shredded
as if you meant to say,
in your own little take
on a note:
"I'll be home before you know
I'm gone.
I've got better things to do."
Love,
Calico
