he longs to hold her in his arms, to kiss and
caress her, to feel her charms
his weakness he has shown
the seeds of violence sewn
he feels so alone.
He has left his mark upon her she will bare it
eternally
just as she has left hers on him, a bleeding heart for
all to see
he pleads for her on bended knee.
He cuts her deep, so long to heal
she holds his heart in a grip of steel.
His eyes are dim the sparkle has waned
he feels so alone, he dies yet again
though his body still moves
his heart beats no more
she walks into the night and doesn't look round
at all the destruction and debris to be found
she says she going forward by walking away
yet she has gone back to start yet again
he begs her to go forward and face life together
she said she loved him
she said forever
his words fall like rain drops on the forest floor
the panther has died, he can love no more.
She dances and plays without a care
for she can still love, and feel despair
she starts again but doesn't know why
yet, another panther dies
she still goes forward not looking back
still going forward on her well worn track
but if in time she turns around
in the panthers heart she can be found
until then he has died in vain
in his lifeless eyes can be seen the pain
for he loves her
forever the Pantheress
