No! Bad Kitty!

I'm slowly shrinking smaller inside myself
Like a turtle retreating to its home
There's idle chatter but I can't hear it
I've retired to my own personal hell

I miss the carnal pleasures
And the aimless wandering I once indulged
You used to be my adventure and hiding place
Now I hide even from you

You're right before me yet I don't feel you
You don't rattle my cage like a hungry beast
I miss the feeling of your breath on my neck
And your fist around my heart

All I feel is death inside
That old familiar pull to forbidden fruits
Poison though I know they are
Never looked so hypnotically sweet
