Taking a Beast

I'm breathing heavy,this means we're close
The night sounds feel taboo and young 
This is what I'll tell myself as I roast
SShhThe hunt is starting nervous knots fill my stomache
Almost spoke but got interrupted
On the corner of elm and oak my silence a must
There she is just majestic and prowl
Lines so clean yet still remains agile
The coat so shiney it permeates the night
As my Advances grow I plead for no fight
With a single lunge,I attack the beast
First disarming then defences as I release
As now I'm inside and it gives off a roar
So I put it in drive slam the gas on the floor
As I flee from the scene it's a high like no other
I think to myself that's how you take a beast my brother
