to glance behind
is to give in
he is unhinged
loosed from the binds of normalcy and deceit
he is hunting
hunting for a girl
he can almost smell her fear in the rain
and he knows what has to be done
it's her or me
and i won't let it be me
not tonight
he smiles at the anticipation
but then
a shift
she didn't run towards the town
where there were people she could turn him in to
places she could hide
his heart falters
the bloodlust draining away
she didn't go to turn him in
not even to avenge her friend
her footsteps lead out
into the woods
he is suddenly filled with a pulsing uncertainty
what will he do
when he finds her?
he drops to his knees in the mud
his head in his hands
and lets his heart whisper the truth
i love her
but not enough
to let her go
so he stands again and lets the emotions leak out of him
it's not enough
not enough to save you
