Keys To the Cage

Anger sits there
locked in his cage,
howling against the bars.
Eyes rolling,
mouth foaming.
When he begins to pace
see the change in eyes,
steel over
and his teeth set in.
Lupine smile
fangs bared
she hands him the keys.
He races out
full rampage
blood rushes
sounds dies
worlds tip
taste blood.

She sits there
locked in his cage
Crying against the bars
eyes closed
mouth praying.
