I'm not always pretty
In fact, sometimes I'm the monster
Hiding under your bed to make you cry
Your tears feed my relentless hunger
I don't claim sainthood,
Nor do I claim to bear curled horns;
I'm just a kitten with sharpened claws
I need someone who can see past the claws
To the quiet purrs that rumble my throat
Even a monster needs to be loved at times
But all I've loved thus far turned out to be monsters
Far scarier than I could dare to be;
Your tears should be of joy,
Not because I've abandoned you once again
I'm not after a saint,
Certainly can't do with more monsters;
I just need someone flawed and be
