Lamb

For the next girl

By C. A. ButterworthPublished about a year ago Updated about a year ago 1 min read

No, there’s no way to make you listen

And I can’t save you from your fate

Remember those same sheepish

Clothes, then the Wolf would play

In disguise he hunts

Savage, patient

Senses prey, then

Unmasks

Maims

    Danger, danger! Some don't listen and walk willingly into stupidity.
