Lycanthrope’s Lament by Joshua Witsaman

Please Be Prompt

Release Date: 12/11/2020

In this lonely tragedy

Happiness had fled from me.

Yet, even I found a way

But what a high price, I would pay.

 

Transformation, I was seeking change.

Those Grim Beauticians were fond of strange.

I was only Human, that much I knew

 

Whispered places, hidden signs

Parlor rooms, wreathed in tinctured lines.

She mirrored, made-up, combed, and dyed

Matching outward as inside.

 

Transformation, I was seeking change.

Those Grim Beauticians were fond of strange.

I had once been Human, that much I knew.

 

Days and nights the beauty stayed

But at full moon, my flesh was flayed.

Horrors within, would be released

Cracked façade, had freed the beast.

 

Transformation, I was seeking change.

Those Grim Beauticians were fond of strange.

Never again Human, that much I knew.
