3 Lone Wolf's Down Town

Isolation accompanies him along with his gin An urban nomadic as he finds shelter in sin Tarnished from his second hand clothes to his unjustly judged soul Yet satisfactions rest within his panhandling bowl Stained teeth glimmer when hearts drop dollars and dimes into his trey I spare him 5 dollars because I know that’s one method of taking the pain away May he indulge ever so deep in his liquor and herb May that curbside prophet find God’s reason on his curb Her erotic mini skirt synchronizes with red stilettos heels Young teenage males pass by with curious thoughts wishing for feels She struts the streets looking for clients with a swagger of glory Yet she has eyes of the wolf and they whisper tales of a different story The story of a defeated charismatic with compressed ambition Her eyes rumor that she submitted to life’s arduous expedition Her glory defined swagger is all to mistaken she a wolf that knows her purpose is to be awaken Her mini skirt is meant to capture eyes Her sexy stride has ambitions of taking the world by surprise For this would be actresses only fears rest within her age She an actor, hooker, and wolf trapped on life’s horror stage May you find answer in your wine May you become a star in time No matter what you do just remember your lnot onely Nor should you think their isn’t a pack and you’re the only You should know I love you both and all things come soon Just know that you’re not the only wolves that tearfully look to the moon
