Beating Blood

Beating Blood Strangled by the pain of the bitterness within me Blinded by the jealousy and resentment as I try to flee Burdened by the weight of never ending wants and needs Hungered by the blood lust as the animal inside me breeds Forgotten and damned by the hand that healed Withdrawing as the animosity in me becomes unconcealed My stomach wrenches as the agony coils up inside my being Shaken am I as I transform into the eyes of the unseeing The heart within the hollow chest no longer feels Murdered by the anguish and the concrete resealed Beating blood, it supplies the veins As I keep the beast unwillingly restrained
