𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐲𝐬

——————————————————————​

Love comes, both a predator, a beast,​

always, its hunted, yearning to feast,​

stalks its prey by both day and night,​

cat eyes will capture, awaitin' its bite, ​

prowls where lonely hearts will nest,​

caught by its teeth, hearts will wrest,​

devouring birds of the same feather,​

chewed away at each new love letter.​

something feral, so primal, and rare, ​

brings warming comfort, yet despair​

ripped away by both blood and bone, ​

when it leaves you, so cold and alone. ​

​

— soulless​
