The Full Moon (The Rest of It)

Tonight is the full moon, through the clouds it’s blazing bright, And from the tingle I feel in my bones, it’ll be quite a night; It’s the one night a month that the moon has control, I can feel it in my being, all the way to my soul; The sway the moon holds over me, is calling out in victory, I can feel it now I’m letting go, soon the monster will be free; Just one night a month the beast can roam, And it’s the one night a month that I never come home; The brute takes over my body and will, And destroys everything with deadly skill; All I can do is sit back for the ride, All conscious thoughts are trapped inside; So many times I’ve tried to get out, But I can’t even do so much as a shout; When the demon inside me once again is at large, Beware to you all, because I’m not in charge!

Ha ha, that were-wolf breaks free. I loved your original couplet, leaving the interpretation upto the reader, but I love this extended version too. Great read ~ Sharon :)
