Tu N'Es Pas Un Garcon, Tu Es Un Loup - You'Re Not a Boy, You'Re a Wolf
The boy looks at me with fear in his eyes.
Hesitation in the face of temptation.
I am his ruin, a pit trap, a fall from grace.
I am that which he strengthens his faith by denying.
I am frightening, something he has not been told to want.
But he is not a boy, he is a wolf.
The wolf I love looks at me from beneath his green shroud.
Temptation paws at him, and his thoughts are bared.
A holy creature, though still a denial I face
I am salvation, quenching, a rib to his heart.
I see it written in every inch of him, tooth to tail.
Maybe it is wrong because I am not a wolf, nor a girl.
Or maybe it is not wrong at all, but will take time to unfurl.
