Kitten of the Wildewood

[Verse 1]
Found you where the silence grows,
Bruised by hands and bitter crows,
Curled like fire beneath the briar,
Eyes of storm and heart of pyre.
Whispered runes upon your skin,
Threaded soul and beast within,
Called you kitten, called you mine,
Bound by blood and spell and vine.
[Chorus]
But oh, my wild one, don’t you stray,
From the boy I kissed from stone and clay,
Your claws may catch, your teeth may bite,
But I will hold you through the night.
Mommy’s here, my beast, my flame,
You’re still the boy who knew my name.
[Verse 2]
Tiger eyes and silent tread,
Hunting ghosts beneath the bed,
Tail like smoke and fury curled,
You don't belong to their cruel world.
I brew the stars to calm your head,
Sing moonlight where your rage has bled,
I’ll teach your heart to soften slow,
Like honey warmed on winter snow.
[Chorus]
Oh, my wild one, don’t you stray,
From the boy I kissed from stone and clay,
Your growl may shake the forest floor,
But I will love you evermore.
Mommy’s here, through fang and flame,
You’re still the boy who knew my name.
[Bridge – Whispered or Harmonized]
Kitten, don’t forget the light,
In your hands and in your fight,
The witch who calls you son and soul,
Will never let the shadows take hold.
[Final Chorus – Stronger, layered harmonies]
Oh, my wild one, stay with me,
Under roots and cherry trees,
Your fur may bristle, heart may race,
But I still see your human face.
Mommy’s voice will call you home,
No matter how far you roam.
[Outro – soft, fading]
Kitten, my heart…
Kitten, don’t part…
Stay with me
In spell and dream
Forever wild
Forever seen.
