Petting Zoo

Your skin feels like my walls
Your blood inside me crawls
I feel the rhythms of your heart
I know what and where you are
No need to fear me
You’re not my kind of food
You can get quite near me
Welcome to the petting zoo
Come and stand beside me
You look like you belong
Just think what might be
If these bars weren’t so strong
Rest me in your arms
Like a cherished work of art
Polish the lightning rod
Turn the beast into a god
