This is Monster by Cat Hepburn.                                                                                                                                                                       When she was a wee girl, monsters came fae stories in books, and cartoons and sometimes, they were hiding under her bed
They were strange and scary and mysterious 
All hairy with sharp claws, red eyes, and oddly shaped heads

Then, she grew up 
and she wasn’t frightened of those monsters anymore
She knew they were just fantasy, make believe, fairytales, and folklore

When she was 25, she met a guy 
He had- a similar tattoo to her on his wrist; 
she secretly thought this was a sign, They kissed 
on their work’s night out
A kiss lead to a date
a date lead to more
You know, we’ve all heard this love story a thousand times before

He soon became her partner, her lover, her best friend 
Meals out, duvet days, holidays, never watching films to the end
But, like in many great tales, her closest ally, turned out to be her enemy
A happily ever after, was unwritten from her destiny

Did she say no? Had she been drinking? She could have fought him off, what was she thinking?

She tried to fight him off, that is a fact
But she found it difficult to shout because his weight was on her back
Face squished flat 
Hand in her mouth 
Ensuring that no more no’s could escape
This was not the kind of pillow talk that she liked

He knew she liked it rough but this was taking it too far
