Lies

By Electric-Chair

 

I feel the warm breath of the panting lion
Its profound presence commands silence, in the dead night of the Savanna.
My only refuge are these thin walls made of canvas.
I feel the earth tremble as fate encircles my fears.
My anxieties will surely entice the rest of the pride and they will finish the hunt.
I cling to my certitude, which with dawn, comes truth.
