I am a monster

Do you see my claws and
feel my fangs?

Do you hear the words that
call me a devil in disguise?

I'll hurt you,
so please go away

You say love will keep you
safe but I'll hurt you

I'll chase you,
scare you and yet you don't run

You baffle me,
allure and change me

You say love keeps you here
but why do you look so terrified?

Please, don't go...
