silent but not forgotten
the lamb sits on a hill and waits
her heart ripped out of her chest
more than once
she waits for the right person
her heart chained like a locket without a key

lion waits in his cave
as his meal sits on a hill
he was hungry but couldn't
think about eating the little lamb
one look in her eyes made him melt
the sun glared at her fur making it hard to see her beauty
she sat her back to him
"why so sad little one?" he asked as gently
as the wind to their backs
"I do not wish to speak my problems to a lion."
her words like knives in the lions ears
she went to leave but the lions glare
those eyes of pray were on her
and she was scared he would give chase
but none the less she walked away

only to find the lion close behind
no alert in his ears or eyes
no hunger in his eyes
his long tail drug along the grass
his head hung low
and all in all he would follow her
around the world just like that
and he did
he followed her to another side of the hill
and sat right beside her
watching the sun set's colors blend the sky
as if it was meant to be a rainbow

I hear the sound of howling in the distance
the alpha has healed from his wounds
they so deep I couldn't understand
why he was so close
his fur blacker than the night above
his growl deeper than any ocean

yet I couldn't bring myself to grab my knife
my whole body screaming "don't move"
a part of the alpha's ear was missing
probably from fighting for his herd
lighting flashed in his eyes
and I knew something was different

no one every tried to contain this alpha
as I was trying to do
his eye glare in every direction
wondering if which way I would go
but I didn't move I stood my ground
we glared at each other

my wings aching at my back
telling me to fly
but i wouldn't not yet
we didn't move not for several seconds
something changed in his eyes
his anger gone and light filled their pupils
my wings gave final warning
before I took off into the ebony sky
as I flew I could still feel his gaze
following me every which way I flew
but the gaze wasn't strong
like a hunter looking for prey
it was gentle
like a lover looking for a mate
the alpha was content
and I was the reason why

I lay in his arms and wonder
is this the right place to be
my head on his shoulder
and still I couldn't think
would it be right to move?
would I be ok?

sitting against his relaxed musles
i want to know what makes him
his body built
his mind quiet
but his eyes give everything away
he is here with me
and i want it as that

yet i want to know
will he always be there
when i need him?
when i cry
when im scared
when im hurt
or when im in laughter?

yet my heart yerns him in
and my mind goes quiet when im near him
and then i realize
this is were i belong
in the arms of my lover
this is were i would call home

i am home
i am safe
no more worry
no more heartache

i am home
i am with my love
and i will never leave my home
