The Hunter

You came in like a storm:

ravenous,

thunderous.

When you grabbed me

by the throat

I just fell

under your spell.

The chant was deafening,

and the air

heavily scented with desire.

And I renounced my name,

gave it all away

and stepped into the fire

for a lie.

Breaking,

I’m breaking

your curse.

Your reign ends here,

I will not stumble.

Breaking,

I’m breaking

cuz I know

if you were here

my walls would crumble.

You’re a master of disguise,

devious,

treacherous.

All you crave for is a prize

to behold

and call your own.

I’m gathering my strength,

and my eyes

are slowly adjusting to the dark.

There are no secrets left,

I can finally see

who you truly are,

what you are.

Breaking,

I’m breaking

your curse.

Your reign ends here,

I will not stumble.

Breaking,

I’m breaking

cuz I know

if you were here

my walls would crumble.

I don’t blame you

but my loneliness…

I believed everything you said,

every word and every lie.

It’s a tale as old as time.

Over and over we played your game,

you were the hunter and I your prey.

It’s the chase, it keeps you alive…

It’s a tale as old as time.

Breaking,

I’m breaking

your curse.

Your reign ends here,

I will not stumble.

Breaking,

I’m breaking

cuz I know

if you were here

my walls would crumble.
