A Friendly Foe

Though the night gets darker,
Her eyes grow brighter.
They shine.
A fierce, threatening light.
This cannot exist.
Not human, not demon.
But a mixture of each.
My heart beats.
Thump. Thump.
The heat grows stronger.
My eyes refuse to wonder.
As hers grow with hunger.
I am paralysed with curiosity.
How can someone I love,
Wish to bring me harm?
My jitters refuse to calm.
She crouches as if I am her prey.
I close my eyes and begin to pray.
You pounce.
You lead me astray.
