Ballad of the Bad Wolf

You got tired of tasting the blood on my mouth

With every kiss

Its crimson color staining teeth

That are still too sharp at times

Teeth that break skin with ease

My strides were a little too long

For you to keep up with

Even when there was no wind at my back

And I noticed too late that our steps

Were no longer in sync

That you had fallen behind

To let me run ahead

I couldn't see that I was

Losing you in the shadows

While I was chasing the moon
