Werewolf

At daybreak I feel relieved 
Though at night I long for more violence 
Only at dusk I fear for I know it is coming 
Coming for me no not for me for it is me that is coming out to unleash that anger of which one holds inside 
I am of evil and I am the darkness in the night I am the cruelty that comes as the sun has finished setting 
My anger rises and so I let it loose
I break the chains that I myself fastened in hopes for me to not get away
Ravenous that is what I am
I stalk the weak child that is lost in the night searching for safety 
And when that moment comes when he cries out in loneliness I give him my god-forsaken company 
I snarl at laugh when I see the fear in his eyes 
Then I put him out of his misery
Slashing at his throat I come to realize That I for one know his pain and so in his pain I plunder 
The moment comes when I see that this child was mine
But that moment was too late for in that moment all I can do is stare at the lifeless corpse in front of me
Just another soul I've taken to add to my punishment of being damned for all eternity
