Mistaken Valentine

Switching legs I kicked the cat
I didn't mean to I take it back
No one was hurt but a nasty look
Pursued by a hasty retreat
What's up with inadvertent things
Mean when we didn't mean to
Something in me forgot
Her sleeping on my foot
How could I suddenly not
Be stirred awake by your words
Falling and disappearing
Leaves down the page
Beseeching me to relinquish
My mistaken rage
