Prey

You are stunning. Much like a tiger.
I am drawn to you, mesmerized by you.
I stand, dumbstruck as you come silently
towards me, low to the ground, ears back.
Something inside me screams, "Run!"
But I do not, I am already dead. I was
dead long before my eyes fell upon you.
And now, you have finally chosen to feed.
I am Prey.

Love these lines..."But I do not, I am already dead. I was dead
from the first moment my eyes fell upon you." :) This makes these emotions so much more vivid and understandable to liken them to this. As readers we can immediately feel the intensity, the powerlessness of the "victim". Really good!

This poem had me hooked the entire time. Awesome work!

Oh this is a gorgeous metaphor. I can feel the tension. I think they had it wrong...fight, flight or surrender.

nom nom nom. A delicious bit of poetic/prose.
