You used to be the wolf I the sheep You used to chase me the seemingly unaware

I used to run as far as my legs could bring me Away to an ethereal place I did not even want to go to

There used to be potential of an us But I stifled in your smell as you came closer

And now I am the wolf in sheep’s clothing As you found another one who plays the victim just right

- Roles have changed

Will I ever be good enough Sweet as honey with a tingling aftertaste That leaves you lingering for more

Or will I just be the flower you will stand upon and crush When you look for prettier ones

He saw the thing in me I wanted people to see, to point out The elegance, the mystery

His eyes roaming over my velvet dress I had put on for him alone Lingering – just too long, only just

Forbidden desire prickling into my skin Just bend me over

All I wanted was to fulfill my deepest thoughts Perhaps to feel alive for once

But all is left is me Even emptier than before
