The Beast
you fed the beast
and nursed its growth
till it's devouring your spirit,
absorbing your soul
now out of control
it obliterates the night
massive paws sweeping
the stars from your sky
unable to stop the
apocalypse that builds
a tourniquet untwisted
as the truth is revealed
too late to impede, the
demolition goes on
the beast you created
destroying your love
