The moon shone deep within the sky

Stars glittered within the eyes

Of a predator whose gaze it hides

Within the day it fears

But by the night runs free and clear

Never to be too far away

From the one on which it wishes to prey

Blood stains the ground on which it treads

Screams of the innocent fill its head

Tears stream down a ghost white face

Staring within eyes filled with disgrace

Eyes that stare right back

With not a feeling, not a shame

Terror fills the tear brimmed eyes

Of the prey as the predator steps in sight

Blood drips down from the chin

Of the predator fighting from within

The prey is forever trying to hide

From the predator that is inside

Eyes shine with sorrow and dismay

In both the predator and the prey.
