In the Night

I left before midnight

Like we had planned

In that velvet dress

You had bought me

For our first date night

I remember running to you

Like a wounded animal

Just to touch your face and

Kiss your delicate lips

And you didn't hesitate, you let me in.

Just when our bodies were in sync

Skin on skin, it all started happening

I couldn't see your opal eyes anymore

But rather shadows everywhere

A kaleidoscope of thoughts rushed in

And I couldn't breathe anymore

It all became clear later

That a cosmic wheel of misfortunes

That we had been warned of

Had come to haunt us

Within these shadows, I could see the witches and wizards

Ready to cast an evil spell on the whole universe.

We were now foxes

Or rather wolves

Being hunted down

Like a criminal on the run

But in all this, you stuck with me

Even when I could feel the void

Even when it became cold

For you wrapped me

Under your silver wings

And eased the turbulence

And bouts of anxiety and uncertainty.
