I thought I killed my neighbor's cat

It was dark, I was drunk
When I came home, all alone

Then I heard, sound absurd
Six o’ clock, at my back

When I turned, something purred
Consistently, repeatedly

I was annoyed, so disturbed
I lost control, couldn’t avoid

With the wine, at my hand
Held it high, then brought it down

Smashed its head, I wickedly said
“Meow you cried, now you die!”

When purring ceased, I became at ease
So I came home, still all alone

At the sink, water turned pink
As the blood washed off my hands

Then to the bed, I dozed off
With the clothes, I didn’t took off

I woke up, morning top
My head’s in pain. What the hell happened?

To the windows, I looked out
Across the street, something’s going about

Black and white; Blue, Red light
Long yellow tape, across the whole place

Then I recalled, that last night
I have killed, my neighbor’s cat

I went outside, with an insight
That they found out, I killed their cat

Then on my knee, something touched me
It was that cat who meowed last night

Then I found out, a little girl is dead
Down on the road, was her body located

Thank God! Alive was the little girl’s cat
For I have thought I killed my neighbor’s cat!

Art,

This is a tale of terror. The twist at the end was unexpected.

You have a lot of talent. Welcome to the Poetry Showcase. I am very happy to meet you.

I lived in the Philippines when I was in elementary school. My father was in the Air Force. The Phillipines are beautiful.

Warm regards,

Kathy Paysen

when i made this, i really didn't think of a deeper meaning.
Just plain murder.
But now that you've mentioned it, you got me thinking for it too.
thanks for dropping by.
