No surprise

Of all the days you would sneak up on me, it would be Halloween.

You came into the party with your Wolf mask on, thinking you looked so smooth.

But your voice gave you away as soon as you didn’t get what you wanted.

I didn’t come to you like prey but ignored you because I no longer like wolves.

I stood up to you that night, and a cheetah came along and guided me to safety, and for once, I felt at home even on a night so dark and cold.

Happy Halloween!
