\"\"<\/p>\n

The night was dark
\nthe woods were
\nunnaturally quiet
\nI knew my love
\nwas coming for me.<\/p>\n

I wanted and
\ndidn\u2019t want this
\nnight because of
\nthe price I had
\nto pay.<\/p>\n

I heard her howls
\ncoming closer
\nand closer, and
\nmy heart beat
\nfaster and faster
\nas I began to
\nreally think about
\nthe cost and
\ncould I go through
\nwith it, the
\nsacrifice I\u2019d have
\nto make.<\/p>\n

But when I saw
\nher coming to
\nme out of the
\ndarkness, all my
\nreservations melted
\nat the sight of her.<\/p>\n

She howled at me
\nlovingly, and I
\nsteadied my breath
\npulled out my
\npistol and shot
\nthree silver
\nbullets into her
\nand almost shot
\nmyself to death
\nafterwards feeling
\nlike I couldn’t
\nlive with what
\nI had done.<\/p>\n

Though I wanted her,
\nthough I needed her,
\nthough I loved her,
\nI just couldn\u2019t
\nlet her go on
\nkilling people,
\nespecially
\nafter that
\n10-year-old girl
\nshe slaughtered.<\/p>\n

I stood with my
\npistol smoking,
\ntears falling,
\nand I knew I\u2019d
\nhave to turn
\nmyself in
\nto the police
\nand confess
\nto killing
\nmy wife and
\nspend the rest of
\nmy life in prison
\nbecause nobody
\nwould ever
\nbelieve my wife,
\nan esteemed doctor,
\ncould in any way
\nbe a mythical monster.<\/p>\n

But then I decided
\nto tell the truth
\nand be thought
\ninsane, so I could
\nbe put in a hospital
\nfor the insane
\ninstead of the
\ninsane conditions
\nof a prison.<\/p>\n
