I am the lonely lioness.

I am the prowler
that nobody sees.
I am the lonely hunter
nobody joins.
I am the lonely lioness.

I am the one
lions would die for.
I am the one they wish to meet.
I am the lonely lioness.

I am the one who they wish to fight.
But they do not dare,
for they know the battle is mine.
I am the lonely lioness.

Once and for all
I am the lonely lioness,
Alone for now, but soon no more.

One day there will be a lion by my side.
My partner prowler.
My helpful hunter.
My dying love.
The one who dared to meet me.
The one who fights my battles.
My lion.

Perhaps I’m just a waiting lioness.
