Nightmarish


 

He said

‘I’ll be seeing your lovely face in my nightmares."

Ooh, I like that!

I am the fatal beast one begins to notice the beauty in

That happens for me a lot

It’s good to see I conjure that odd reaction in someone else

I like that someone as soft and simple as myself has that power

To scare is a very angular jagged thing

When I attempt it becomes cold and ephemeral

But I like the solid red heat and intensity

And him of all people-

To strike fear into his haughty heart is simply a delight
