There's a Tiger on my Bed

There's a Tiger on my Bed

There's a tiger on my bed

A predator, aware

Of feelings -

She kills what's lonely.

There's a tiger on my bed

Danger in her stare -

She hunts 

The ghosts that haunt me.

There's a tiger on my bed -

Even in sleep prepared

To keep 

My human company.
