I want you like a drowning man needs air
Like the lone wolf
I was left alone
too long
to my own devices
and I ate
temptation
like candy.
the long hot summer nights howl
and I become a ravenous carnivore
when my feet hit the pavement
The only one that loves me
speaks a language
not my own
and as our worlds collide
I know that someone
is going to be hurt
and it isn't me
blood lust leads me
to the crossroads
and the Devil
knows me by name
I was left alone
too long
to my own devices
and I ate
temptation
like candy.
the long hot summer nights howl
and I become a ravenous carnivore
when my feet hit the pavement
The only one that loves me
speaks a language
not my own
and as our worlds collide
I know that someone
is going to be hurt
and it isn't me
blood lust leads me
to the crossroads
and the Devil
knows me by name

You really have an ability to capture emotion, Terry. One thing by way of honest critique:
nights howls
It should be nights howl or night howls.
nights howls
It should be nights howl or night howls.
