whiskers in my face

it's almost like you're feline,
the way your fur is soft on the outside
and your claws are polished and neat
while your sandpaper tongue scrapes my heart
with every word you dare to speak.
you sink your teeth into my skin
and offer me a bandage,
but you never trim those claws
or watch that tongue.
not when we're alone, at least.
