Running Wolf -------------------------------------------
As the gentle breeze wraps its sweet scent around me
Enveloped in the fragrant breath of god
I stand here reminiscing
Remembering your smile
I remember how it brought warmth to me
Tenderly kissed the bruises of my heart
Momentarily relieving me of the asphyxiating pain
I will never forget that smile
For that was the first and only smile that resonated sincerity
Just as your eyes did when you revealed your love for me
A love bound with a kiss
A kiss that defied time
A kiss that brought life to my once frozen heart
My heart no longer bound in ice screamed fiercely
Releasing a cry that would render a wolf vulnerable
A wolf that tasted fear would run
Like a running wolf, a crimson flame tore its way through me
Making its presence known
Making my existence known
As you tenderly caressed me
My presence as a woman was made known
With each embrace my identity took on form
Whilst innocence itself slowly diminished
Cradled in your arms, I awoke with new eyes
As the gentle breeze wraps its sweet scent around me
Enveloped in the fragrant breath of god
I stand here reminiscing
Remembering your smile
Now its memory is like a dagger to my heart
Tearing old wounds that now seep crimson tears
My heart has no relief
It continues to asphyxiate
I can never forget that smile
For that was the first and only smile that resonated sincerity
The sincerity to yourself that you would deceive me
Just as your eyes did when they reflected my naivety
A love that was never there
A kiss that held no meaning
A kiss that toyed with my innocent and fragile heart
My heart still no longer bound by ice
Remains to scream fiercely
A scream that sends a chill through me
Now I have become the running wolf
Terrified to hear a males call
Terrified of false smiles and false pretences in order to satiate tainted intentions
I am the running wolf
I run from you!
