you had the uncanny amber eyes

of a hungry wolf with a

coat the shade trapped between

black and brown

and without a thought

i fell into them for no reason at all

other than to feel the adrenaline

brought by dangerous things

(^^^)

you brushed your lips against mine

and it was a shock that

raced along my spine and flooded

my short-circuited brain

in a matter of seconds that fluttered

through the cracks between my fingers

before the spaces disappeared

in my clenched hands

(^^^)

maybe i should have realized

that none of it was real

that you were only after one thing

to sate your wolf-appetite

and i must have missed

the blood-fire in your eyes

and i must have forgotten

that you were a killer

(^^^)

lust turned to greed

i can't remember when

you devoured my lips and bit them

and your hands, forever your hands

on my body, and it

sought places you had no right

to touch, no right to

violate, and you tainted me

with your darkness

and your eyes shone amber

and i was lost

i had lost

(^^^)

when i tried to fight

you claimed my lips again

draining them of innocence

you tangled my hair,

still grasping for satisfaction

and i could not break free

of your spell and your manacles

and when i looked up to find

i could not breathe anymore

it was clamped between your jaws

blood soaking your muzzle

and you turned into a wolf before my very eyes -

the corners of your human mask

began to peel off and

was replaced with the mangy fur

of a lupine breed

the blood still dripped down

and your sharp teeth sank into

my heart, still beating

my heart, still gasping

for a life that was pooling into emptiness

all over the floor

and when i looked down

nothing remained of my left chest;

everything was gone

there was only a gaping hole

echoing with something that it

had wanted to protect

the few bits of flesh left

wavered in your hot breaths and

my rib was clearly broken through

the bone splintered -

you grinned and my heart

tried to jump out of its predatory cage

but your tongue flicked out

and swallowed it in one swift move

you ate my heart alive –

you ate me alive

because you were a wolf

and i was your prey

and I did not see you for what

you truly were

(^^^)

now i lie here, broken and cold

feeling your paws pad over me

knowing that you are human, and

you were too beautiful

for me to ever resist

i lie here, broken and cold

and the hallucinations fade away

you explore me without much modesty

and take what you can get

your skin that i imagine i can tear through

and break in its nakedness

as your lips drown me into mindlessness

and I can't help but think

that i gave myself

to an inescapable monster

(^^^)

you were a wolf and

i was your prey

and you stole the core of my

being that i used

to keep close

and treasure

because you wanted my body

too much
