Since when could you see past my disguise? Since when did you realize my smile was fake? How did you notice I his behind my laughter? How could you tell my happiness was my hiding? What am I supposed to hide behind now?
What heinous act could I have played that the beast is still hunting? wanting to devour it's pound of flesh
What sins so grave have I committed that this beast still seeks me out? to make me repent.
Who gives it the power to choose my demise? it takes it's own will as testament to it's righteousness.
And I have given a pound and a half of flesh I have repented of my sins I have paid my tithe I have asked for forgiveness I have changed my ways I have paid I have paid..
And yet it still stalks me while I sleep and in my waking hours it gathers strength.
It's pursuit relentless never tiring never slowing.
I will never be free
I run but I will never escape it's might the rules absent the game devised for amusement
A pound of flesh for a morsel an eye for a glance a tooth for a word the scales tipped unbalanced
The law says to the sanctuary I must run yet it is too far cornered and scared panting for breath
Beast carnivore eater of souls
PREDATOR
In my fear I cannot run another step muddied and worn spent resigned fate
It's eyes black are devoid of all humanity it takes a step and I can do but one thing..
**Fight.
you can't dance with the devil and wonder why you are still in hell.
