The Wolf Always Comes Back
I hear you.
Not now. Please, not now.
I can beg all I want, but it won’t change anything.
The Wolf Always Comes Back.
No matter how far from the forest I am I can still hear your howl.
You beckon me to where the wild things are.
I can be the most domesticated I’ve ever been, but
The Wolf Always Comes Back.
You aren’t here. I’m safe. I’m sheltered.
When will I learn you are not the hunter, but the stalker?
I put on a new face and cover my tracks, but
The Wolf Always Comes Back.
Sometimes, I dream of stopping my foot.
I turn my back to the path ahead and meet your glowing eyes.
But before I can speak, the baritone growl in your throat constricts my own.
The Wolf Always Comes Back.
