The thumping grows louder
more defined in it's rhythms
The pulse rising and falling
fear the catalyst of excitement

With eyes glistening with desire
with a mouth foaming with hunger
The beast sets its sights once again

Within yourself
coiling
waiting
It hides in the dark corners your mind never sees
tricking you into a false sense of security

A word
an action
One moment that defines them all
A slip
the clang of its cage as it is released
upon the world
and upon you
 
How do you keep the cage locked
When you don't recognize it's there
