The Beast Within

I am the beast you created,
All shimmering beauty underneath a layer of dirt.
I am all claws and teeth,
A howl so deep it causes you to shudder.
I am forced into this madness,
Caged inside the skin of a monster.

You have been staring at me for far too long now, my dear.
Behind these violet eyes of mine,
I’m afraid that just won’t do.
I am a monster of action and chaos,
More of instinct than thoughts.
But I can tell by your scent how much you want me.
I can taste it in your tears.

So, if you want me
Come and get me.
I promise I won’t bite.
