You slammed the door on a monster man,
He was frothing at the mouth,
The whites of his eyes had consumed those clear brown irises
The gnashing of his teeth and the rage of his roar
Tore at you through the thin red bricks
He shut out the monster woman,
Those thin, red talons that grapples at his throat
Sunk into his back to leave long red marks
While they make monstrous love, on the big screen
Her screams tearing at him through the sere concrete
My love, it was a monstrous love,
That gnawed at my insides until I awoke hollow and bloodied
And poured hot ecstasy into my veins, broke
Its heavy chains, bounded inside its cages
I draw it to me while it tears at my skin
Your love, it was a beastly love,
That cackled and danced until you awoke sick with horror
And the sleepless night blent into days, broke
Your gentle gaze, yet still those ragged arms ached
To draw the madness back into your ribbed and raw embrace
We cry together, scream together, monstrous lovers
Each more afraid than the other of those red, consuming eyes
We run together, flee together, from the beastly heart
Grasping at each other’s wild, flying hair, lest
The devil should take the hindmost
