The Night Unforgotten

===================

I dread the night 
I fear its might 
I fear the time most 
When the wolf came against my walls 
Shattering it in vain 
Leaving behind a souvenir of a broken heart in a broken body 
I fear also the howling and what preceded it 
Its fierce look,
long dripping fangs that clipped my tongue to my lips 
I mourned my unheard wailing 
A ghost I was 
I dread the sight 
of the remaining me
A bruised,shattered, and unripe harvest 

So, I stand in the rain
With the hope of washing 
away the stain 
It was gone all in a few seconds
The bruises healed in a few weeks 
But the memory 
Oh the memory, 
a watermark Imprinted on my broken soul,
Sealed in my mind
A graffiti written with my blood 
in its hall of fame 
A constant reminder 
of my lost dignity 
I dread the night 
I fear its might 
Cuz in it awaits the nightmare of the midnight wolf
