Beautiful Monster

Subtly she made her presence known 

Creeping swiftly from beneath the broken shadows. 

A figure dressed solely in black 

With a sharpened blade by her side 

The moonlight dancing from its edges. 

Fear overwhelmed us 

As the angry beast grew near 

Intense hunger gleaming in her eyes.

The more we attempted to outrun her 

The heavier our bodies became 

Until we were nothing more 

Than helpless heaps of melting flesh 

Lying on the wet grass at her feet. 

Facing her my biggest mistake 

As I was instantly captivated by her presence, 

Staring deeply into the eyes 

Of the most beautiful monster that ever existed, 

Holding me down with the force of a thousand men, 

My desire to struggle escaped me 

Like the blood seeping slowly from my chest.-
