Haunted

I left before midnight Like we had planned In that velvet dress And cowboy boots You had bought me For our first date night Under that neon light Whose name you had Failed to pronounce right I remember running to you Like a wounded animal Just to touch your face and Kiss your delicate lips And you didn’t hesitate You let me in. Just when our bodies were in sync Skin on skin, it all started happening I couldn’t see your opal eyes anymore But rather shadows everywhere A kaleidoscope of thoughts rushed in And I couldn’t breathe anymore It all became clear later That a cosmic wheel of misfortunes That we had been warned of Had come to haunt us Within these shadows I could see them The witches and wizards The sorcerers and magicians With their wands and staffs Ready to cast evil spells On the whole universe. We were now foxes Or rather wolves On our own Being hunted down Like a criminal on the run But in all this, you stuck with me Even when I could feel the void Even when it became cold For you wrapped me Under your silver wings And eased the turbulence And the war Raging inside of me.
