The Wolves

Oh how i wish to feed the wolves of hatred
I'm not sure how long they can take it
They must be satisfied like any other animal
I often wonder if people can see them in my eyes
Prowling back and forth, ready for a fight to the death
Their scraggly hair on end baring their sordid yellow teeth

I'll just look at the ground
I'll pretend they don't exist

And then i met you
The wolves hated me for it
But i fell in love with you
I fell in love with your Beauty
I fell in love with your innocence
I fell in love with your laugh
I loved you for loving me

You showed me the good of life
You tamed the Wolves
You caged them, shackled them and spit in their faces
You made it easy to look into your eyes

And you would say i was the only person who could make you laugh
This made me fall deeper in love with you
We could sit there for hours on end making each other laugh

Until the day you told me you were in love
but not with me

The Wolves wouldn't have it
they were driven by a new kind of hatred, the fear of love
I tried to control them but without you i was helpless
They took control of my mind
And all my actions were driven by fear and hatred

They meant to kill him, to torture him
But their system was weak
And it fell apart at the seams
And they ended up killing them selves
Taking my soul and will to live with them

Now i sit here in the remnants of my life
Hoping that you will come pick me up
