Lion and the Lamb

For he is the lion and i am the lamb. No objections.

  You are a man of many words
words spoke so loudly compared to my hums
You can fill yourself up with so much
When i am barely touching the leftover crums.

People are attracted to your evolving spirit
Its like your voice brings them to your feet
I am left to watch in the background
reminded of my soundless voice, so petite.

Because you are not the man im used to
For you are the shark and i am but a clam
You hold yourself so much higher then me
For you are the lion and i am the lamb.

I've noticed how people stare at you
As you float past them like an angels kiss
But when its me holding your soft hand
Out of everyones mouth comes a growling hiss.

You,however, don't notice your acuteness
With those beautiful eyes crowding the worlds mind
Your too involved in your love for me
Which in my mind is completely maligned.

Your fortune won't give up on me
For you said there might be a pearl inside the clam
But nomatter how you look me in the eyes
For you are the lion and i am the lamb.

a petite voice,
nice characterization.

I love it! It's told by such a perspective that depicts a leader and a shadow perfectly and beautifully.
