I carry your heart within my jaws
Like a tiger, taking in the night
You do not see me leave
As you beat with me, matching my love.
Padding, gently, in a uniform beat
One after the other, footfalls falling into nothingness.
Black, blending with the night
With my darkness.
Love me, as I slink through the jungle
An outcast-
A ruler over impossibility
I dare to dream
Take me, I tell your heart, to where you are now
Though terrors may come to spook me, I will follow you
And your love
I may run, fleeing terrors that chase me away.
That chase us away.
That have chased you away.
But you are in my grasp now, and so I will go wherever I must
Because I have you
I need nothing else
