Once Upon A Life
Once upon a life
I was the little girl alone in the woods
With a blood red cape to protect my soul
And a basket of knifes and blades
The wolf was my friend
And the man was the monster
The house was abhorrence
Left to molester
I walked with the wolf
A lone wolf was I
We walked through the forest
Leaving trails of the misbegotten
To rest in the dark
I held his hand
He held mine back
I stared at him wide eyed in awe
And he told me that, once upon a life
I was adored.
