we were both calm yet distant.

her yellow piercing jewels that glared up to my emeralds.

i knew she was threatening me.

i knew she was growing intolerant by the day.

yet i still kept her hidden.

even if i do feel her claws down my back.

her hunger, her anger, her pain.

she wants to hunt till the lumberjack is no more.

till i was no more.

only stains that would match my red cloak.

yet i still control her like a canine.

even if she does howl under the twilight.

her leash would only tighten.

but there will be a day she will come alive.

her black coat will become my silhouette.

and she will become bigger and stronger.

for she is the beast that's chained within my heart.
