Future Panther

all black always like a priest i will wear this every day black jeans black shirt black boots my skin marked up with truth deep raven and india ink i bring my knife up to your cheek in darkness i flicker and spit o candle singe that rope again i feel the reapers swarming up my arm blacking out the image obscuring the already adorned a horse laid heavy in blood and flesh that’s torn unbridled true wild i tame you break you thou art mine i see a panther she shows me all her teeth manifest in power dig deep and cover me i fear losing the details the memories so clear every day a step further i fight the dream that time might steal i drive all night you sleep and pray a giant 8-ball to cover up my heart in solid black i add one hundred i finish where i start to swallow shadows and smell forever bleed take slow the road and mind the edges i find you on your knees my song for baby this panther hunting me wide mouth claws out my death in screaming ebony bright veil of heaven pull back so i might see what angel weeps my name in silence please forgive me
