Tiger's Eyes

Tiger's eyes glare at me
I know that I should flee
But fear itself holds me down
In hes glance, 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 if a cat would chase a toy
He wants to make me suffer, oh how 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 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 tare into my flesh
Just as easily as a dagger cuts through mesh.
My last moments as I lie,
And all I see, are a tigers eyes.
