I think you are drawn to me
Because I have dark hollows,
Deep places that are terrifying,
And you like scary movies.
You long to run, like a character,
A werewolf searching out the moon,
Caught in a dark place longing for the light,
Yet like a vampire, longing to hide from it too.

Run! Run through me! Howl the whole night through
In my dark hollows. Leave your deep footprints
In my muddy creek beds and your scratches on my trees,
To count the times, to count the ways 
You love me.
