Curiosity

After I found out you cheated
   we had a long talk.
All I remember are the last words
   that were said that night.

"Just tell me why you did it!"
  I begged.

"Curiosity."

"Curiosity? Curiosity Killed 
the cat you know?"

"Yeah, but the cat has 9 lives."
   You replied turning your head away.

I was silent.

I wondered how many lives
   you already used.
