Blood Hound

You wouldn't let up
No, not until I bled
You couldn't stop
Nothing could keep you fed

A rabid dog is what you are
All you want is blood letting war
I've given you as much as I dare
Blood pulsing through my wounds

The worst is the gash you left on my heart
You pulled me apart with your teeth
You were human once, not anymore
You stole my heart when you ran, theif

They call you a disturbed young man
I call you a messed up bloodhound
I need to stop you but, not sure I can
Your a bloodhound on the loose

You get off on the blood of your prey
Their love for you, their fear of you
It's like a drug, your addicted
A blood crazed bloodhound is you

What to do with you?
I don't even know where you are
But, i know your out there waiting for me
Me to slip, you to shread my heart and throat

Bloodhound is your true form
Can't remember you being in the norm
Theres no human to you
So, those ones who loved you

Are your play things
Their your prey
I didn't want to be
But, there was not much to do

So, I'm done hiding
Come on
  lets get this done
We'll fight to the death
The dog fight has begun

We rip into each other
Striking the blows that hurt the most
Playing with each others hearts
Until we both drop from exhaustion

Nothing is forgiven and a lot is lost
But, you are human again
Your bloody and crying in my arms
The dog fight is retired, at least for a while

So you lay there in my arms
The big bloodhound is no more
It's just my love, scared and bleeding
I held you tight to my chest

Your whimpering into my neck
And I know that I've tamed the bloodhound
We'll get through this somehow
We both peacefully fell asleep together

On the forest floor, battle ground 
The moon playing across our blood
But, it doesn't matter 
We're together again

As I slowly drift off
I hear you say what I was praying you'd say
I'm sorry and I love you Alana
I am at peace now, to the dream world i go

Love,
Alice

correction: “Until we both

correction: "Until we both drop from exaustion" -it is spelled exhaustion my dear, with an "h".. ..overall, like I said it is a brave write...a short story indeed...may I ask if the lady Alana died after the fight? ;) sorry it took me so long to read again... but i love the read..love the romance in the thrill..
