The Animal In Your Room

By WoundsLikeStars

In no uncertain terms, I am an animal
A loathsome beast with beastly intentions
I prey when thou art on thy knees
And salivate at your salvation

I have come for your blood, and will not leave wanting

Rarely do the chaste need to be chased, however
For their musky purity serves to mask a pungent immorality
Precious virginity is not a race to be run, but a prize to be sought
A delicious morsel of timid rigidity

I will not hunt you, however
Despite my instinctual prowling
I will wait for your invitation to devour
And I will wait with bared teeth

Make no mistake, I am an animal

Too, too kind. I feel as if I've found kindred spirits here. That's rare in my real life.

I don't think this animal would make a good pet unless it's a horndog (HA)! Do guys ever have to put up with the same stuff I wonder? Really nice job on this piece and quite foreboding, thanks.
