The Kitten And the Panther

The Kitten and the Panther

Once upon a time, on a day like any other

A Kitten and a Panther discovered one another

The Kitten was confused, but the Panther knew

He played this game before, and this love didn’t seem true

The Kitten was soft, tame and kind

Innocent to the naked eye

But behind her sweet, fluffy outside

Hid a broken feline, behind her white lie

The Panther, on the other hand, was strong, wild and cold

Typical bad boy, he never did as was told

He made his own rules and he played them well

But somehow that inner-wall fell

Females usually came and went like discarded prey

But about this the Kitten had nothing to say

The Panther had a lean body

He had a handsome face

But his eyes, oh, his eyes

They held so many lies

Sapphires in the night

Diamonds in the day

The Kitten found that she could never look away

She knew he was bad news

And his love touched only so few

Yet she went and lost her heart <3

And seeing him every day ripped it apart

Once upon a time the Kitten had a friend who glitters and shone

Secretly she was scared to be hurt and alone

Yet the panther went and stabbed her friend’s heart

That didn’t lead up so well to they’re first start

He hurt her long before the Kitten knew

Her affections would be so strong

Her tears would be so long

Because his words are smooth and never true

Scars are visible on the Kitten’s small body

A smooth sharp blade marked those terrible days

When words hurt her more that she could say

Those scars, of course, were hidden from the Panther

Because showing him would make her seem weak

Plus, he never came close enough, so to speak

The kitten chokes back the tears

‘Cause the Panther’s laughter is what she hears

And the Panther happily smiles

She hasn’t seen it on him for a while

It kills her inside what it wasn’t hers to claim

She meets his eyes, she blushes, she feels shame

But she can’t help smiling too

Even if it makes her seem the fool

Now the Kitten has a new friend

One’s that sweet and smart

It diminishes that small spark

When the Panther smiles for the girl

He smiles not for the Kitten, but for her friend

And no clearer message can he send

So the Kitten and the Panther stay apart

Because the kitten is too shy and the Panther too smart

It claws at her small, weakened heart

When nothing she says can make his love start

So she stays away

Because she thinks its hate in what he says

In reality though, he’s already fallen

Who could resist her, so sweet and small? And

He can’t risk falling for someone like her

So shy, so decent, so nice

Solution: he stares at her with eyes like ice

Hoping it would drive her away

So that it wouldn''t be him that has to say

He loves her

It’s frightening,

The need, the spark, tiny lightning

It scares him because true love to him is a mystery

And that is why the Kitten and the Panther stay enemies
