Nature of the Beast

Nature of the Beast

A Poem by John Stussy
"

Why would she stay with me if this is what I am?

"

 

 

Why does she want to be with

This monster that bites and scratches her?

He’ll disfigure her before too long,

And there’ll be nothing left to bury.

 

He is a beast inside and out,

A monstrosity born

From parents unstable,

Son of an unspeakable killer

 

She is an angel, a savior,

A beautiful woman

Who saves those she touches,

Holds them in genuine kindness.

 

If she stays with him

Before too long

Her heart will be gone,

Ripped out and tossed away.

 

He can’t help the way he is,

He is an animal, not a man.

Pain is his forte,

Torture his true calling.

 

He is less than a man,

He is a monster.

Supposedly sweet at first,

Eventually his true darkness shows.

 

Why would she be with this?

There is no man hidden beneath,

All that there is, is a dark being

That should not be loved at all,

For he slays the ones that he holds dear,

Finishes them off and watches their eyes

As they glaze over in death’s grasp

And he finds another victim.

She would stay with you because she KNOWS! She knows that beneath it all is a wonderful person. We have seen this wonderful creature come through in your writing. Courteney is right - you are no beast.

yeh, you may see yourself this way, but if this chick don't, you need to step back and look at yourself in the mirror again. i've been in situations like this before, where i think almost nothing of myself, but she's always there, making me feel like i'm something. that's a nice feeling, yeh.
