he settles , like a bird ruffled by the cold air / his eyes strange & bright as they peek through the foliage ( 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐬 𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐡𝐢𝐦 𝐬𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐥𝐲 ---- tenderly , wrapping around the open wound of his heart ) THERE IS NOTHING HE CAN SAY FOR THE STRANGER THAT WATCHES HIM dark hair & darker eyes , like a wolf watching a lamb / 𝑎 𝑑𝑒𝑒𝑟 𝑢𝑛𝑎𝑤𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑤ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑙𝑘𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑡𝑎𝑙𝑙 𝑔𝑟𝑎𝑠𝑠𝑒𝑠 [ i can be brutal too ] ❛❛ please leave , you won’t change my mind . ❜❜
