The Beast Within
The girl of my dreams
I met one night
Her beauty captured
This Highland Knight
Its been a month
And i am so absorbed
To be with her
On natures orb
Then one night
As we lay in bed
A strange feeling
Runs through my head
The previous night
She stayed out late
Not getting home
As i lie awake
A pattern showed
On various nights
She never came home
Until near light
In wanting to know
One darkened night
In following her
Keeping out of site
Clearing ahead
Brightened sky
Was that a howl
Or a dogs cry
Shrubbery clearing
As my eyes did see
The girl of my dreams
Standing over me
Her white nightdress
Blackened and stained
Droplets of red
Unexplained
I reach out to touch
As she pulls away
Her body changing
In every way
Her long golden hair
Now grainy Gray
Her looks resembling
In a wolf-en way
Transformed in all
Into the night, she heads
The very next day
Deadened red
In sorrow torn
My heart decides
To rid this world
Of her wolf-en side
Gunsmith called
Silver required
Bullets made
Revolver acquired
The very next night
Shrubbery clearing
Quickened steps
Wolf-en nearing
Up i stand
As she growls at me
Her teeth bloodied
Saliva streams
In one massive leap
She makes for me
As i draw my gun
And fire three
In whimpering howl
To the ground she falls
Whimpering silenced
Her very last call
The girl of my dreams
I met one night
This changing beauty
I killed tonight
