Old Wolf Tavern

CW: su*cide.
Written by me.
Down at the Old Wolf Tavern
Where nobody asks for your age
I saw this sweet girl on the barstool
Longingly eyeing the stage
Her face was so cute & endearing
Her soul was fiery & bright
So drawn to the things she was fearing
She found herself out in the night
How foolish was she to wander
When all who she followed were lost
She dreamed of adventure out yonder
Too naïve to imagine the cost
I took her with me under cover
All the boys on the streets set their sights
It didn’t take long to discover
All they wanted to know was her price
Offended, we ran ever further
Not her love nor her body for sale
I tried to protect & to serve her
But it seems at both tasks I did fail
One day, like innocence, she was gone
I searched in the forest for clues
She’d gone to the trees before dawn
With rope on her neck & no shoes
So, here at the Old Wolf Tavern
Where nobody asks for your name
I look at the empty barstool
And find I forgot why I came
