Wolf

Your spark became a flame
Your touch was electric
This heart found a beat
A heart imprisoned in the dark
A lost ancient rhythm
So familiar but forgotten
Eternal
The sound of time
The spine unfolds
The hair stands on the back of his neck
And he howls to the heavens
His curse is freedom
Destined to roam alone
Lethal, restless, unkillable
The world is bleeding him
Only to lick his wounds back to life
All in vain
Your incomparable beauty was enough
A soulbreaker
Alas, some beasts are not pets
Wildness is untamed
A primitive, upseting, unsettling, incompatible nature
A path of thorns
Pain was never his intension
He knew your taste, he smelled your fears
And the fears became anger
A final glimpse is all you got
But when the night quietens the noise
The memory will remain
And your vision will stain his eyes
Every time he cries for the moon
