Lykanthropie

I'm standing at the bathroom mirror, looking at my reflection.
It looks nothing like me. What are these scratches? Why are my eyes yellow?

"Are you okay," I looked to the bathroom door to see her there, in her long black satin night gown. "You're bleeding!"
She’s rushing to me. Worried. I can feel the animal behind my face grinning as her smell fills my nostrils. The sweet smell of pray...
I shake away the thought.
"I'm okay," I whisper, somewhat afraid of what I dreamt just moments ago.
"Where were you? Why do you have blood on your hands?"

I wish I could answer that as well. Don’t ask me where I was. I don't remember a thing.

I shrug. She caresses my hair and helps me wash my hands, then guides me to bed.
I close my eyes, her scent still filling my nostrils, but it's no longer as tempting.

I dream I'm running through the verdant forest. I can hear her steps as she's running after me, trying to catch up. I will occasionally slow down and wait for her, but I would never let her touch me. I'm leading her...
I can feel my jaw clenching as I let out a howl.



I woke up in the middle of the forest. With no idea what happened last night.
My head hurts. That ray of faint light in my eyes is blinding. Where are my clothes?

She is lying next to me, covered in leaves; looking as beautiful as ever. I' m caressing her hair, gently. It's so soft under my fingers. And she reeks of fear. The animal behind my face grins again at her smell.
She opens her eyes. I can see fear.
The animal within grins wider - wanting out, smelling fear…
"Run," I whisper.
Her eyes widen for a moment and I can see my eyes, reflected in hers, turning yellow.
"Run," I shout.
She gets up and starts running. I can hear her breath; I can smell her fear.

I fall on my knees. The animal is trying to get out. I feel my body wriggling uncontrollably as it takes over.



I'm running through the forest. I can hear her footsteps, not far from me. I'm running faster.
The smell of her fear fills my nostrils.
I can see her hair, waving at the wind as she runs. I run even faster.

She trips and falls. She faces me, crying. Fear in her eyes; her whole body giving out fear.
I'm taking a few steps back, preparing to jump.

I can hear her scream.
I can smell her fear.
I can taste her flesh...

"Mein Spiegelbild, es schaut mich an
Lässt Ähnlichkeit vermissen
Was ist geschehn? Was ist passiert?
Will ich es wirklich wissen?

Ist das nicht Blut
An meinen Händen?
Es geht mir gut, vielen Dank
Lass es dabei bewenden
Du weißt, ich war im Bett bei Dir
Sag es ihnen ich war doch die ganze Nacht hier"

Hello Dear Nobody

Hello dear Nobody, remember me?
I called today to tear the stitches.
To open up your wound,
to see you bleed.

Hello dear Nobody, remember us?
I called again to remind you
how we used to hold hands -
happy, blissful and in love.

Hello dear Nobody, remember this?
The closed chapter in your book,
that book you put on the shelf.
That book, covered in dust.

Hello dear Nobody, remember me?
