Watch your back

Sly as the fox,
Silent as an owl,
Strong as a grizzly,
Swift like the cheetah,
Gentle like an otter,
Proud as a lion,
Cunning as the serpent,
Petty like the house cat,
Loyal as a retriever.

Lying, cheating, fighting, caring,
Shouting, sneaking, kissing, beating,
Screaming, hitting, netflix, chilling.

Watch the animals,
Reflection in the mirror,
I see all this,
Bubbling inside me,
Two of us was never enough,
You went off and found another one,
So I smiled and cried with contradicting emotions,
But my tears were never for you,
They were for all my mistakes,
And the pain I create,
In the end I came back,
But not for the reasons you could ever imagine.

I dream your bones go crack,
I watch you fall in an attack,
I see you slip into unknown black,
I'll warn you now,
Watch your back.
