Creatures of the dark wood

She entrers the wood
Her dress so white
The tree's so dark
The moon so bright

She hears the distant howls of Them
The creatures of gruesome myths she'd heard
She started to run so silently
wishing she'd grow wings and fly like a bird.

She'd enterd the wood to save her love
He had been doomed since the night before
He'd given up, he couldnt keep running
And into his sweet flesh the creatures tore

The girl had stopped to catch a breath
She swore she heard something behind her beathing
Her face drained of blood as she turned and saw
A monster with a bone on which he was teething

She tried to scream but she was muted by fear
The creature loomed over her, its breath so fowl
It dropped the bone and bared its teeth
And murmed a low, threatening growl

The creature took her arm in a firm, clawed grip
The girl fainted and fell towards it
The beast ripped her arm right out or its socket
And into the warm, bleeding flesh it bit

Hot blood spurted from the wound
The creature let out a howl, long and deep
Others alike it gathered around
To watch the girl bleed in her endless sleep

The creature took one final bite
And threw the corpse to the others to eat
The creatures clawed at her fleash and feasted
Till the girl's bones lay there in helpless defeat
