Caught
Heading home,
It's getting dark,
What was that?
A cat's meow,
I un-tense,
Well it makes sense.
Nothing would be out,
At this time of night,
Right before last light.
A small crack,
Behind my back,
It's nothing I'm sure.
A screech,
A flash,
the spill of trash.
Please be the cat.
A slithering sound,
A light purr.
My heart begins to pound.
I hear a laugh,
I want to run,
But something holds me back.
I feel hot,
And yet so cold.
Please make it stop.
A hand grabs my wrist,
And holds me tight.
I pull and twist,
And try to fight.
Hold still my dear,
A voice reassures,
No one will hurt you,
When I'm near.
I try to run,
And pull and twist.
But still He holds,
Onto my wrist.
Around my waist,
His hand wraps,
My own tears I taste.
Don't worry my heart,
He says lovingly,
I will protect you,
With now as the start.
He grasps me tighter,
I try to scream,
This all seems,
Like a terrible dream.
A footstep sounds,
It's from the end of the street.
Please, Please,
Help me!
He tenses up,
And holds me tight,
Before He growls,
With all His might.
You are mine,
And not theirs,
I will take care,
Of this miscreant here.
I feel strange,
And want to move,
My body feels heavy,
And He places me in a groove.
A scream rings out,
And I hear a tear,
My eyes close,
And I feel Him near.
I will never,
Let you go.
You are mine,
And now they know.
He reaches down,
and picks me up.
My shoulder burns,
at His touch.
He gives a laugh,
and holds me tight.
You're mine,
starting tonight.
