The Friendly Wolf

Folder: 
2013

 

There's always something terrifying about a friendly wolf;

Sure, they make cute noises

they may lick your palm

can be such a comforting creature..

until they turn into a wolf again

 

and you sit there, listening to me, I envision you saying in your head,

'Hey, I'm smarter than this'

 

Truth is I didn't have the right to present those fangs

 

So as my punishment

upon myself

I will do whatever it takes

to rid the water of its murky, worried hue

sacrifice crimson if need be

for your eager mind to step away from this place

 

and if that's so, the bond will disintegrate

right through my hands

and my pig-headedness will provide justice for you

 

I may not guide the heart that leads your path

but I'd like to believe I helped build the legs to walk it

so if you accept this twisted bid

I will honor these words

and become but a memory
