Clinging to Words

"Love you a lot." Words never said with honest hands. This devilish lip-service conducted by defrocked priests. I will not love myself until, I find you in a hole I also can jump into. We will huddle together listening for the hot breath of hunting wolves, not knowing it is we, we who breathe so coarsely, so loud, so lost and feral.
