I've become nothing
Of what I've hoped to become
A shadow wandering in the night
Without the strengths
                             I once sought

A lone wolf
That wishes for a pack
Soon I shall become
An old bag lady
                          With cats


Touch me,
I dare you
I dare me
I bite
I bite

I scratch

I've become a recluse
Come close and I flinch
I wanted you near
I still do
             But I cringe

Touch me,
I dare you
I dare me
I bite
I kiss

In my wildest dreams
     I can't resist


Alone in the streets
With the wind on my face
The sea up ahead
I trace my steps

Touch me
I dare you
I dare me
I want you
To want me
I'll love you
Just hold me

In my wildest dreams
                   .I can't resist
