YESTERDAY I KILLED A CAT by ioHann Garcia
yesterday i killed a cat
it happened all so fast...
i love cats.
they are the only kind of animal
i'd have for my own
in my house
in my kitchen
on my bed...
but it just happened.
the cat wasn't mine
it was from another owner
one night i got locked
out of the house
and had to wait all night
for my parents to return
when this beautiful black cat
with glaring eyes
crept in the gate
and sat beside me
i talked to her
but didn't touch her
i knew cat's instincts
they don't like to be touched by strangers
but she was purring
and started to come near me
her crystal eyes were fixed on mine
very dearly, calmly
i sat with her all night without touching
but she looked at me
as if begging to be stroked
pleading for my warmth
and we stayed
and we slept.
and we drifted.
everyday she came by
ever since that night
i never knew the reason why
or why she would cry
but every single morning
she'd be on my doorstep
in my house
in my kitchen
on my bed
****
and then one day
she stopped comin over
i never knew why.
maybe somebody got her?
have i not given enough
would i sacrifice?
or maybe she just finally found another master?
wait!
i said "master" thinking of myself
i was never her master
i knew that from the beginning
even though she treated me
ever so religiously
like i was her one and only
master
she was never.
one cold night
after a week
i heard something scratching
at my door
i opened it and saw it once again
those crystal twinkling eyes
of my beautiful black cat
standing on my doorstep
staring at me with a look of pleading
she was drenched in the rain
with mud all over
one of her legs seemed to be injured
then i asked her
"where have you been?"
she did not answer
"why did you disappear?"
still she did not answer
"that's all i need to know"
i said
"i just need an answer"
then softly she opened her dry weak mouth
and said...
those soft husky lines
that still ring in my head
"maybe some things aren't meant to be answered"
SHOCKED with what i've seen and heard
my heart pounded faster
my mind started to spin
my forehead started sweating
my lips were trembling
my neck and jaw tensed up
my hands found her throat
i squeezed her life out
she buried her claws
of all four paws
in my fingers, my hands
she was all in a loss
ripping off my skin
in the hell she was in
but still i didn't loosen
when my blood was flowing IN
and staining all over
my tissue was under
her every claw
but her life was fleeting
her body weakening
soaked in my blood
i saw those crystal teary eyes dilate
in her last gasp of breath
(omitted from the original...)yesterday i killed a cat
and im not sure why
is it because she abandoned me?
or because i was so
FREAKIN SCARED OF
POSSESSED TALKING
BLACK KITTYS WHO
STARE AT YOU LIKE
SHE'S GONNA EAT YOU
mammeeeee....
 | wahaha i forgot about that ommitted ending part. "mammeeee.." hehehehe |
 | "maybe some things aren't meant to be answered, maybe some things aren't meant to be answered" |
 | and thats the line that made me kill her ^_^ |
| This is my second favorite. Hahah! Nothing beats tender suicide in my personal opinion. :P I still play that! |
| okay, maybe the "nothing beats" part was a tad too much. you have other great tracks. heheh. |
