Down


I heard the wolf howl

we never stood a chance

limited time only edition

watch as the torches go out

and greens and blues turn to black

felt your hand pressing me down

looked up into your eyes they were cold

tar covered my mouth

thunder echoed your battle cry

you took me there

branches cracked

stop it, what did i do

yours, tangled up in your sleaves

you sat me down

this is nothing, sacrifice

i love you, i want this

ouch

told me i was brave

im scared

down.

I met you in the woods.
