Lamb

You were a helpless lamb
Yet I slaughtered you in my jaws,
Broke your neck; shed your blood
Cutting you with my claws.

My teeth sunk in your flesh
Hearing not your blood gurgled bleat,
Captive to my cruel pleasure
Dying at my dark feet.

Ripping flesh from your bones
Tearing your body apart,
Piercing your veins, shedding innocents
Life runs from your breaking heart.

I have left you lifelessly mauled
Chunks of your flesh on the ground,
I leave with blood thirsty eyes
To seize another in my deadly bound.
