Chasing the wounded prey

Chasing the wounded prey

A Poem by Bladecatcher
"

song lyric from a few years ago

"
why are you-- trying to-- get away from me?
you the hunted-- you the vulnerable-- you the insecure
running out of-- time here-- wanting to be free?
you the shallow-- you the underdog-- you the pure

leading the chase-- you're one step ahead
can't be caught-- getting away from me
glancing backwards-- hoping you're not dead
our eyes met-- running away is the prey

look of terror-- about you-- trying to concentrate
you the wanted-- you the vulnerable-- you the leader
out of luck-- out of strength-- no escape
you the stolen-- you the borrowed-- I the feeder

why are you-- trying to-- get away from me?
you the brazen-- you the useless-- you the fool
running out of-- luck now-- no longer free
you the other-- you the weary-- you the cool

getting closer-- I'm right-- behind you now
you the coward-- you the fallen-- you the bread
no remorse-- from me-- you know this how?
you the wounded-- you the bloodied-- you the dead
