Ch2 At Bay

I scramble getting ready

Then suddenly comes

A thud

A soft thud

It could only be one

His hair camouflaged into the night sky

He waits expectantly

For an open door

It's unlocked as usual

But he still looks at me

Like he's memorizing me

But probably out of politeness I guess

Polite doesn't seem to fit, though

As mischief twinkles in his eyes

And a smirk plays on his lips,

Though it seems he's chilled by the breeze

He looks

And waits

Not sure if

I'm ready to be an ember tonight

I would never leave

A cat out in the cold

With nowhere to go

The scent of the air around

Makes my thoughts become daydreams

I try to keep them

At Bay
