The Beast Within your Flesh

Why does the heart beat?
It beats, because its a monster
Encaged within your flesh.

It wants to escape from
its cell in your rib cage.
And break free from its entrapment
Under your skin

And you,
So blissfully unaware
Of your own cruelty.
Such a selfishness as keeping it to yourself.
Because without it...you would be dead.

That beast has havoc to wreak
On those whom with your whole heart
You seek.
It wants to share its love with them.
That's why it hammers ever harder
When your love passes by.

Its desperate.
Its needs to share,
If it hammers harder,
It might break the skin and go there.

But the flesh us tough.
Its frantic beating is in vain.
Its one hope is to go through your mouth.

So open it and set it free.
Believe me it shall not abandon thee.
It will return to you calmer than before.
I won't leave you there to lie dead on the floor.

The Beast Within Your Flesh.
