The Bleeding Prey

It strikes the hearts of many with That evil, wicked creature of filth Harsh and insensible is what describes it best For its aim is to shred love and never rest Approaching its victims so quickly Inserting its sword so deeply into the people's heart so severely Thrashing into one's home of protection Betraying the walls of its foundation It seeps into the building's structure Pervading blackness throughout its posture Then, it lurks into its atmosphere As it engulfs everyone with fear Its evil laugh churns the house And fills each ounce courage blacks out from within Leaving its warrior vulnerable in Berlin The evil narrows its eyes Hunting the prey it wishes to hear its cry As it strikes its teeth The helpless prey begins to screech Blood oozes like a forgotten fury Pouring onto the floor that was once its glory The prey's eyes look above Pondering at the ceiling with pain yet love Remembering the times it spent around The merciful land that was once its ground Walking on it with care and pride While the evil begins to feed on that prey It reaches the heart, turning it into clay Tears begin to drop, scarring its cheek Waving goodbye to the morning's speak For that treacherous creature has struck And into the prey's interiors it dug This unmerciful monster shattered a heart's love and into its organs it dove It is the villain that always forces a tear to drop For it is indifference that fills one's crop
