Just Had To See

My heart is beating inside my chest
As I run and run no time for rest.
There is a full moon out tonight
I want to be back home in the light.

But silly silly me
I just had to go and see
What was out in the woods
Should have known...no good.

Oh lord how was I to know
That this moons iridescent glow
Would bring forth this man
This beast known as a Lycan?

I thought it all a myth, a fable,
Oh my as I run on legs unstable.
He is behind I feel his breath
Oh my I do not wish to see death!

He grabs and throws me to the ground.
Will he leave me here? Will I be found?
Oh GOD that hurts, his fangs his bite.
Oh why oh why can't I even fight?

Will I even be able to live?
Though their bites do give
A virus so very strong
That you should not live long.

The werewolf is gone
I am still here on the lawn.
Looks at my wound and sees
It is not bad, but am I free?

The next full moon is but a month away
Oh lord how can I keep my panic at bay?
Nothing to do but wait and see
But I fear and feel men will flee.
