The Monster that Saved Me
Howl at the moon at night,
let the wolf run free, run wild.
In the morning, I'm safe again,
like a baby wrapped up in its mother's warm embrace.
only—this baby's got claws.
He ripped her to pieces,
and now he's gone after something else.
After something I can't quite see.
Something—something truly savage.
I'm slipping—
watching him consume it
and throw the remains right back at me,
an animal bringing its master the prize of the hunt.
We're the same: he and I.
My beast's been devoured by my wolf,
monster killing monster.
he's taken its place as my companion,
as my creature.
And I realize—that he's beautiful.
He may have been my cures at first,
but really, he's always been my savior.
Saving me from the beast inside.
