Wolf Among Wolves

She loves a soul

That I've never been

A dog among dogs

A man among men

And every day

When I come home to her

She holds a phantom

She kisses and she hugs him

And I am not

Averse to how she loves him

Why must I live and walk?

Unloved as what I am

Why can't I be loved as what I am

A wolf among wolves and not as a man among men

She craves a home that she can go in

A sheltered cave that I have never seen

Not in my life

And not even in my dreams

Why can't I be loved as what I am

A wolf among wolves and not as a man among men
