I know the end is near
I feel the change upon the wind
Death is coming for you my dear
a pain that will not end
Blood spattered on the wall
The beast is free of its cage
Its roar a fierce battle call
The ground shakes with its rage
Humanity gone, the animal remains’
the dead its passage mark
Insanity, calamity,horrible pain
it stalks me in the dark
Coming, its coming at last for me
Like lovers we shall meet
Teeth and claw his weapons be
mine a blade forged in great heat
Once my heart, my lover true
When Human and beast were one
To late, betrayed, can not undo
Damage has been done
Now my friend, I come with death
a gift to set you free
Come my love, take your last breath
and leave me here to grieve

Death is an interesting topic, especially when explored through such angles and emotions as you have in this piece. Very nice write ~ Rose
wow. very powerful and engaging. Death is coming…Oooo creepy yet..
super intense writing. what inspired you?
I was inspired by the book I am writing, “The Un-One”. A story about a bi-species (half human and half fae) girl, raised by her werewolf step father, who is trying to find her place in the world. I hate to spoil the book by going beyond that, but the poem hints at the dilemma she must deal with.
This is an amazingly powerful poem, and now that I read what inspired it in your comment, I hope to someday get to read the book.
Death as a gift to set us free. Yes, indeed so! Very powerful and intense stuff!
