Werewolf Wishes

Immortality as a burden.
Did you know that we can sense the sun? The duality of our nature. Life and death. Hunger and satiation. Violence and peace. Moon and sun.
I've seen over 30,000 sunrises, thick with dust and shrouded in rain and magnified by the heat. I am happy but I am weary. I am sad but I am weary. I am full, and so is the moon.
You hold your breath when I lean in close, but I drink you in gasping breaths.
I sink my teeth into your shoulder and whisper a prayer that you'll live forever. I lick the blood from your collarbone and pray you die tomorrow, surrounded by love.
