Tiger

You are my danger
You have my soul
You could destroy it
And take it whole

So alone but why
I sit here and wait
Wanting you is suicide
Needing you is fate

Not every stripe shows
You erase what was once there
Doesn't seem to bother you
Doesn't seem you care

What should I be thinking of
Your long searching stare
What did they think of me
Those eyes worse for wear

If I find you again
What is there dear
What is the reason
I hurt, I fear

I need you lonely tiger
I need you to stay
Choose what you want
Tiger go, run away.
