Love Poem: This Animal Within

This Animal Within

And so it begins, this urge deep down inside
My blood boils, my body quivers to the bone
Down this tainted path, I’ve lost my loyal guide
I’ve become the beast that you haven’t known

This anger doesn’t want to stay in any more
The pain I feel becomes a fuel that pushes me
Growls grow stronger to become a fierce roar
After searching for so long, I’ve found my key

Memories are no more, love has been forgotten
What I believed to be a nightmare is a release
Happiness; hope; faith; to the core, have rotten
With a grin across my face, a finally feel peace

A new found strength overwhelms my very being
You won’t know fear until you gaze into my eyes
Laughter erupts as I watch you cowards fleeing
Inside I watch as the one you love slowly dies

Broken from this cage, freedom I can now see
Giving into this darkness maybe the greatest sin
But now I’m alive, you created what shouldn’t be
No one will be able to tame this animal within
