Wolf Among Wolves

She loves a soul
That I've never been
A dog among dogs
A man among men

And every day
When I come home to her
She holds a phantom
She kisses and she hugs him

And I am not
Averse to how she loves him
Why must I live and walk?
Unloved as what I am

Why can't I be loved as what I am
A wolf among wolves and not as a man among men

She craves a home that she can go in
A sheltered cave that I have never seen
Not in my life
And not even in my dreams

Why can't I be loved as what I am
A wolf among wolves and not as a man among men
