tiger eyes...
tiger eyes glare at me
i know damn well that i should flee,
but fear itself holds me down
in his gaze, i feel bound..
i try to run, but my legs won't move
i know he can kill me, he has nothing to prove,
his shoulders shift, as he gets ready to pounce,
now i flee, with all my energy..every ounce..
he chases me, as a cat would play with a toy
he wants to make me suffer, oh how very coy,
my legs carry me as fast as they can
my life flashing before my eyes as i ran....
lord, take me now, don't make me endure this pain..
this pointless flight is driving me insane,
he is catching up with me now..
getting closer, how to kill me, he knows just how..
claws tear into my tender flesh
just as easily as a dagger cuts through mesh,
my last moments as i lie..
and all i see, are that tigers eyes...
