Life is way too short
To hide the sexy within
Flaunt it while you can

More winds up on the table
Then winds up in the glass
I discovered making milkshakes
Can be a royal pain in the ass
I forget to put the top back on
Turned the blender up too high
Fruits, ice cream, oh what a mess!
Then the children start to cry
I guess I’m really not too good
At making these sweet treats
I’ll let the kiddies do their own
Lest I suffer more defeats

A sudden breeze, took me by surprise
I let go, my heart, set free
I watched it sail, into the sky
Til I could no longer see
Into the wind, it wallowed
Enjoying the ride, while I cursed
I stood there hoping it would return to me
For I knew, at some point, it would burst
A tear fell from my cheek
As I watched it slip away
I wore my heart out on my sleeve
On that very fateful day
When I lost the only thing I knew
My tears, now overflowing
I am left to find, what I could never replace
And I sigh with the winds, still blowing

A drop of blood, from my thumb
The prickle of a thorn
The crimson flows, a steady stream
From where the flesh is torn
In the quiet, far off distance
A wolf bays as if he knows
The still of night has called me
And I watch, as full moon grows
Reaching out to gather
What is left of me, I fear
I throw myself into the pitch
So he won’t find me here
But alas, I’ve lost my freedom
To the one who rules the night
The blood of wolves, my reckoning
Beneath the full moon light
