Wolf

The wolf approaches fast
I can only run
Outrun the despair biting at my heels
All around faceless laughter
A trip, and applause
I can only wish for escape

Caught up in a whirlwind
Blind, deaf and dumb
Centered here on the altar of hell
Screaming sacrifice to the fallen prince
Waiting for silence
Flailing, flaying
An endless parade
My sins on show, my secrets no longer
Blue eyes burn from shadows
A spectator sport, a killing field
Tears that burn away

To find myself whole only to be ripped apart again
Laid bare and empty
How many times can you push me back down?
How many times can I break?

Falling only not to land
Flying only not to reach the sky
