Im sorry I didn't protect you
When they told me.
When you were just a little thing
Just turned 3
And they discoved the wolf
That prowled the woods
That you came crying about
But they did the strangest thing
They pulled its teeth
Then kept things quiet
And set it free
And let you still wander
The woods alone
I see it in your wide haunted eyes
You are only 9 years old
And they are right
You wont remember...
Untill you are 22 sitting in a therapists chair
Trying to figire out whats wrong with you
And they'll ask about your child hood
And youll think about the nightmares
You used to have
And youll realize they were real
I have friends now
Who are like you
And I am so sorry
I didnt make sure the wolf got put down
But I was only a child too.
