Feral mundane

Dark alley Where we met Maimed by your simper Lurking, patiently waiting, prowling For my heart to open Mauled by your love While drowning in the muddy gutter You dragged me to your den Throughout the night, beyond the dawn, above the dusk Ravenously, feasting on my soul Then, in the early late You roamed … Read more
