The Wolf's True Existence

You've shattered any beauty that might have still existed, that might have been left. 
               
                    I've faded into you
          Your touch lingers on my skin
               I'm feeling tainted by you

   It's all been destroyed with your words 
                  
                   You still chase me
                    Do you want me?

    Your hands close around my throat
               Leaving me breathless
       I gasp for the tiny amount of air;
                you allow me to have

I feel wanted but only for my sexuality 
                 Maybe the idea of me..
Was being with me an escape for you?

                Will I drown in this? 
      This wondering seems endless
                  Time is limitless 
                 Letting go is right 

Spring moves in pushing out the coldness I've been feeling, I'm wandering in the deep woods of my mind. I push through the thick, thick trees and brush. 

I'm lost trying to find the last piece of you, the last piece of me. I realize that maybe it doesn't exist.. 
             
            Maybe the wolf never did..

As I stand in the clearing where I first saw him.
              I stare at the full moon. 
I've come to see a few things more clearly. 

When he came for me I knew I was in trouble. 
I knew It would be the death of the last remaining beauty inside of me. 

                    I heard him howl 
                           So alpha 
               So powerful and primal
             It was something I needed
              Something I was missing

I was the prey but I made it this way. 
He chased me to that clearing and as I stood there on the edge ready to jump for him the sick realization hit me..

                I needed to wake up
                 It was all a dream
             The wolf never existed..
           
He was just a figment of my imagination that I dreamt up to help cover up my loneliness.
