The Hunter and the Prey

I suppose you came like fire; torching my land

All the grass I could never grow

So naive I was to embrace the burn

Pain is the only language I know

You brushed off my baggage and confessed your love

Kneeling before my throne

You held all the power, and you knew it

I was not yet grown

How did it feel when my lungs collapsed?

Ripping my soul from my chest

You sewed your name into my skin

I honored the scar like a crest

Your voice is so loud now that you’re gone

It echoes throughout my mind

My thoughts are muffled by memories of you

Those words that rendered me blind

I broke ground with my knees and let out a scream

Just to get you out of my lungs

Still, I cannot speak of your sin

You’ve silenced a thousand tongues

I should have known better than to open the gates

Did I not hear the cries of the fae?

You came in with arrows, and I thought you were Cupid

I consented to being your prey
