I want to have you immobilized under my paws

In a lucid dream where I smell 

you

and your fear

or the lack of it

I can feel consumed by the scene

I would rip your flesh out and feel your bones cracking on my fangs

the warmth of your blood unleash the beast inside me

so I lick it patiently 

intoxicated by the power of being able to kill you

knowing that I could never hurt you

Then I’ll walk away from you slowly, again

carrying with me a false sense of control 

or relevance

Because I know I can’t be your lover

so at least you’ll remember me

as your predator
