Cat & Mouse

There once was a story of a little cat and mouse

The cat was gentle

It's fur combed soft

The mouse was harsh

It's nails razor sharp 

The cat found the mouse

Found the mouse in the hole forming in the wall

The mouse saw the cat

Saw the cat on the outside staring at it all mighty and tall

The cat was curious

She wanted to explore

The mouse was furious

He had been discovered

So the mouse took on a plan

A plan of power

However when he found the cats gentle heart

He took it to advantage

He lurked around the house

And smiled at the cat whenever he could

The cat oblivious to the danger had fell

Fell in love with the little mouse

The mouse kept his mask

And unknown guiltiness started filling his mind

The cat found out

The truth could run but it could never hide

So that is the end

To the tragic story that the mouse tried to wend

Because they fell

The happy sound did not bell

Things that fall break

And so did the hearts whose ache was like a never ending lake.
