The moon is full in the deep of the night.
Only I can feel the anguish of my plight.
Roaming through the glass, brick, and steel,
this darkened curse feels so surreal.
Having the urge to run with the pack.
Seeing some prey I must attack.
The taste of flesh is what I desire,
feels as though my humanity's on fire.
The scent of a victim is deep in my breath,
it won't have peace until after its death.
Sensing its fear as I stalk in the glow,
I tear into its neck, and feel the blood flow.
The sign of the pentagram etched in my flesh,
loving it when my victims scream and thresh.
The look of fear and horror in their eyes,
their last breath exhausted before their demise.
Satiated I howl with exhilaration at the moon,
falling asleep and waking before noon.
Filled with remorse, wishing I would succumb,
a werewolf is not what I wanted to become.

Curse of the Moon
Full moon piercing through the night,
displaying the anguish of my plight.
Roaming through valleys of brick and steel,
my eternal curse is no longer surreal.
Instinct commands I hunt with the pack,
an insatiable hunger triggers attacks.
Devouring flesh will curb the desire,
remaining humanity now cast into fire.
Scent of the victim, permeates my breath,
howls from the black, foreshadow its death.
Sensing the fear as I lunge for the kill,
clawing and ripping, feel the blood spill.
Savoring the blood as it falls from my teeth,
dripping on the pentagram there underneath.
Enjoying the horror, as they meet their demise,
their last breath escapes as I look in their eyes.
Satiated, I sleep deeply, engulfed by the moon,
transforming to human, awakes me by noon.
Filled with remorse, but doomed to succumb,
a werewolf is not what I wanted to become.
