Beauty and The Wolf

Your checks lay on my breast... It was as if you were searching for a concealed attraction

I became aware that my heart was rotting away.

Separated only by the flesh of my chest

I was afraid you could tell that the heart beats where wearing out

I felt I had to match your innocence with my hypocrisy

At least both have the effect of adding to the pleasure of love....

But I never believed what I said... My heart had been still for so long that neither execution, starvation, nor love making can stir a ripple...

While you were so very credulous

So ready to believe my lies, tall tales, wild plans..

So very credulous.... So ready to believe....

as I myself use to be...

That night we were uncivilized, I did not want to seduce you

on the contrary, I wanted to awaken you

You should not have began to love me

From the start.... it was a bad mistake...to try to love a wolf

We hugged each other and I rocked you back and forth.

At one point I thought it was not you in my arms, but a me of the past.

A me that was so soft, so gullible, and so self confident....

I wanted to awaken that old me, and you by the rocking

Life became heavy and oppressive when I lost that innocence

That night I really didn't know what to do

I always knew that I couldn't accommodate you

I always knew that you couldn't accommodate me

And so I went insane

I am certain this will frighten you

From the loneliness under this November moon

I apologize. "A"
