Beware of Wolves

There must be trust.
There must be trust.
‘Cause when he led me out
He’d asked, “Trust me?”
And I followed.
So there must be
just enough
(for rough hands and
young flesh
to meet in
Elmo underwear).

There must be trust.
There must be trust—
Stupid, blind, unassuming trust.
‘Cause Little Red undressed
before the wolf
Ate her whole
(And I did too).
I did too.

Hey Yatta!

Um...your pace is nice, your spelling and grammar perfect. :D

elmo underwear
~ Elmo's a...thing? Don't really know what he is, but he's alive, and a distinct being, so his name is capitalized.

Also, you missed the capitalization on the line 'Before the wolf'.

Keep writing,
