Eaten By The Beast

Beastly fingernails embedded in her cold blood
Broken, rippled heartbeats weep at her defeat
Soulless, as her blacked heart falls into smithereens
Her lashes wail, absorbed by tears of loss

Her bone ligaments lay detached, like broken piano keys,
slaughtered by his darkness, her naked heart slices into two.
Her unilluminated heart layers eaten away by his hunger
His carnivorous, jaw clenched teeth feast on her blood

Weakened by his power
overpowered by his unbreakable force
she falls down in defeat, from her hearts collapsing
she is now drowning in the puddles of her blood
