I love you though you’re far away,  
or did I misread love’s disarray?  
You’d beat me down, day after day,  
yet my heart still longs for you in a twisted way.

What is this feeling that won’t let go?  
A mix of desire and pain, a tangled woe.  
I pray you’re distant, yet yearn for your embrace,  
a love that’s marred by sorrow, a bittersweet chase.

I want you, yet hate you for the hurt you’ve sown,  
in this conflicted heart, I’m lost and alone.  
Love and loathing dance in a cruel disguise,  
a tormenting truth beneath my tear-filled eyes.
Love
Pain
Uneasy

"Calm the beast, will ya?" the stable man cried, 
as the wind howled fierce, and the night grew wide. 
The creatures stirred, in their hunger deep, 
with hollow eyes, they could hardly sleep.

The horses stamped, the wolves let out a call, 
beneath the moon, nature’s hunger sprawl. 
Their bellies ached, their throats ran dry, 
their growls a chorus to the darkened sky.

"We can't, sir! They're wild, untamed," he swore, 
"They haven't eaten for days, maybe more!" 
The earth beneath them seemed to quake, 
as beasts and men felt nature's wake.

Through barren fields, through woods once green, 
they craved the life that had never been seen. 
Nature’s hunger knows no rest, 
in survival's game, all are put to test.

The stable shook, the night wore thin, 
for the wild ones, only hunger wins. 
And in the air, a promise wild, 
nature’s wrath can never be mild.
Wild
