Not Quite Human

You’re not quite human
You walk through my nightmare
With steps slightly feline
There’s blood on your claws
You’re my lost companion
In dangerous driveways
You slink in the shadows
Then scratch at my door

No you’re not quite human
There’s something inside you
That shines if I’m near you
When you can’t hide your love
Then fear descends darkly
And you tramp on my feelings
After all this time... I still love you

You’re not quite human

You’re not quite human
You fly like an angel
That’s dressed as a banshee
There’s blood on your wings
You’re my lost companion
In splashes of moonlight
You color these memories
My soul mate my twin

No you’re not quite human
Your teeth are too perfect
In a Cheshire cat smile
That glows with your love
Then fear descends darkly
And you tramp on my feelings
After all this time... I still love you

You’re not quite human
