"Jaded"

By bluehoney19

Hidden
Deep down
In a splintered web
Empty of shame

It lies
Hungry
Waiting for resurrection

Lowly growling
Gnawing tendrils
Of splintered 
Hardened veins

Lurking 
For the chance
To feed upon
What it yearns for

Twisitng
Aching 
Head splitting rage!!

Vision blackened
Voiceless pleas
From the mouth of the beast
That lies beneath
It's eyes the color of jade

Lengthening nails
Of serpent's fangs
One slice
You're done
Satisfaction
It's belly full....

The beast again sleeps

    Man I really wish this could have been a bit longer. Theres so many questions I have regarding this beast! Haha. More imagery would have really tied this together nicely, especially at the end. The last stanza seems slightly rushed, but maybe that was your point. To explain hkw quickly we turn jaded from the beast maybe?

    It was actually about the "green eyed" jealousy monster we all face from time to time. How quickly it surfaces and how quickly we must lock it back up lol. I had a moment of rage this morning :-) I really appreciate your input, thank you

    Very wise to lock it back up thats for certain! Hahaha. I love the concept and the metaphor here, very gripping other than the snap ending. It just leaves me begging for more, which may not be the case for every reader, but always a good thought to toss around the ol' noggin!
