through the bushes
as they sway with the wind
i see your every move
from such distance
racing pulse
just because you're alive
i've written poems and stories
painted brilliant works
composed epic symphonies
all with the same subject
a singular thread ties
everything i do
but you'll never understand
because you'll never know
when you come near
i'll hold my breath
play dead like a dog
then fight the regret
from burying me
(battling the stronghold...)
(battling the grip...)
