Hunted

HUNTED
I can hear him
Even from this distance I can hear him running
We`ve been running for so long
It`s all just a game to me
A sadistic game of cat and mouse
I can feel him tiring, weakening
He won`t be able to go much further
This forest goes on forever
The perfect place to stage the final act
He thinks the trees can hide him, protect him
Gives him false hope
The moon hides under the cover of clouds
Too horrified to watch the hunt
The shadows blind my prey and give me strength
Enveloping me in their cool embrace
The stench of decay fills the air
It`s as if the forest itself is dead
Fitting we should be here
I can hear him breathing
Awakens primal urges within me
I release a howl to let him know I`m getting closer
Closer now
I almost feel sorry for him
He`s putting up a good fight
But then I remember I can`t feel emotion
Any emotion other than bloodlust
The rain slows him down
It`s almost too easy
Almost
The moon returns and with it so does my rage
It`s time to end this
Getting closer now
I`m almost on top of him
I hang back for a few moments
Let him think he might still have a chance
More false hope
There`s nowhere left to hide
Nowhere left to run
His worst nightmare has finally caught up with him
He must have known he couldn`t escape
It was only a matter of time
I admire his determination
But that doesn`t keep me fed
The forest hears his screams
Becomes his tomb
