beware the lover with the wolf eyes

--

beware the lover with the piercing wolf eyes

black eyes that stare straight into your soul

and want to know every bit of you — your fears, trauma

bewitching you into loving them so intensely

though they were never intent on returning that love

beware that look they give you in the throes of passion

which can quickly turn into a cruel disregard

then you may be spared of the lover turned predator
