hunter

What was it that stayed my hand then

With dagger held unsheathed

Blade pointing in its side

Id been set upon by a predator

It was just looking for a meal

I saw ribs and fearful eyes

What is it that stays my hand now

With so much misery

That I could mercifully put end to

For that animal I let slink off

Into the undergrowth unscathed

Do I not fear death but just pretend to

For it was starving

It was hungry

But had eyes too close to let me

If you were easy to kill I would have done it already

Plagued by phantom noises

That that skeletal beast

Was haunting all my steps

Questioning all my choices

With that dagger held unsheathed

I felt sick at my contempt

For you were lonely

You were like me

Like some outside force had sent me

If I was easy to kill you would have done it already

You are at my feet

Were by the fire

Youre a gentle beast

And Im alive

You are at my feet

Were by the fire

Youre a gentle purring beast

And Im alive

You are at my feet

And were by the fire

Youre a healthy gentle purring beast

And Im alive

You are at my feet

And were by the fire

Youre a healthy gentle purring beast

And Im alive

You are at my feet

And were by the fire

Youre a healthy gentle purring beast

And Im alive

Youre a healthy gentle purring beast

If you were easy to kill I would have done it already
