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
