![]() Nature of the BeastA 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. © 2008 John StussyAuthor's Note
