A Lycanthrope's Lament
A Villanelle of Regret
I shed my humanity too quickly
The moon lapped greedily at my raw wound
When first I changed, my fur bloomed so thickly!
Once clumsy and slow, now I move swiftly
When first I changed, my fur bloomed so thickly!
I shed my humanity too quickly
Learn to love the moon romantically
I shed my humanity too quickly
When first I changed, my fur bloomed so thickly!
Transformation shook my world seismically
When first I changed, my fur bloomed so thickly!
I shed my humanity too quickly
Bound to all beasts am I, umbilically
I shed my humanity too quickly
When first I changed, my fur bloomed so thickly!
Power I gained, but I’ve lost sympathy
My form is fearsome, but my soul shrivels
When first I changed, my fur bloomed so thickly!
I shed my humanity too quickly
