Exposed

Amid the nights when full moon shines
there loomed about a weakened man
and there I saw a somber sight
a beast holding his hand.
Intrigued, I took lanturn of mine
then walked near them with cautious might
and there he turned with frightened mind
a beast holding his hand.

As if caught in a heinous crime
that man had ran behind his "wife"
and thought me judge to make his plea
while holding the beast's hand.
"She kidnapped me and made me hers
I am too weak to even refuse"
and then I saw his hardened grip
while holding the beast's hand
My anger kindled lanturn's flame
shining as bright as evening sun
and then the man had ran away
while holding the beast's hand
off to darker lands...
