Hear Me Roar

Hear Me Roar

Purr of engines
grind of gears
flash of lights
sinking fears

peace and power
content and sated
lost in time
free but fated

to be alone
until the end
because the heart
is hard to mend

in the city
driving fast
trying to run
from the past

I saw him
in his car
orange and black
close but far

Drifting away
aroung the corner
Like the memories
from a desprate mourner

Untouchable and distant
surounded by women
I stand watching
in the shadows hidden

He is my type
and yet I
am not his
alone I cry

Once, he saw me
talked to me
open and true
kind and friendly

That was my chance
To bare my soul
to tell the truth
complete and whole

I let it slip
Through my fingers
dead and gone
The sorrow lingers

Unable to forget
Pained and sore
Upon his death
Hear Me Roar
