To my Reluctant Lover

To my Reluctant Lover

Leave
if you have to.
Hide
if you want to.
Run
if you think that you can.

I have seen you. I have tasted you.
I have felt your hunger and your greed.
And I shall not forget the smell of your lust.

Flee
if you choose to.
Pretend
if you manage to.
Forget
I know that you cannot.

You have seen me. You have tasted me.
You have felt my hunger and my greed.
And you shall not forget the smell of my lust.

And when you leave, when you hide,
when you run, when you flee, when you pretend –
we shall not forget the smell of our lust.
For we are alike –
Beasts of Prey
