To the Wolves
Your eyes were empty darling,
Dead to the world,
Oblivious to the sound of my voice.
You were broken darling,
Your ears blind to the love in my hands.
Barron baby,
Bruises baby
Black, Blue, just evidence that we were alive
Hold me darling,
Hollow arms, cavity in your chest.
All you said, All we did,
Left helpless the second the light left your eyes.
The wolves got you my love,
Licking red tongues,
I couldn't fight them off,
Blank, your face hollow,
Begging to be filled.
I tried baby,
I really did,
I gave us my best,
What was left to show?
Bloody T shirts, Broken furniture,
Your heart more barren,
My spirit left,
Scared, rigid,
Broken,
They got me too love,
The wolves got me baby,
But you didn't flinch,
you couldn't.
A vacant corpse,
They didn't let you survive.
