Wolves

The wolves in disguise
Come to my home and wish me luck
Then whisper under their breath
“You don’t deserve it…”

So close to me yet so distant
They’re there but not there for me.
They smile their ugly smiles
And kiss me on the cheek.

Don’t love.
Don’t be loved.
Don’t dream.
Don’t reach out.

Don’t live your life.
You don’t need it.
Ours is much better.
Can’t you see it?

Live our lives.
Love our loves.
Dream our dreams.

The wolves are in disguise
But I am no sheep.
