Beast

Born with tragedy in his veins

Set his heart into flames

Ashes are all that remain

Hollow on the inside

But warm to the touch

Seeking a heart to devour

Through the world he scoured

 

Echos call to me

Distant voices longing

To fall on open ears

Traveling for miles

Traveling for years

Over land, over seas

Love is a yearning beast

 

Searching in chasms

Looking through bars

Running through deserts

Canvassing the stars

Chasing the moonlight under my feet

Following the rumble

Moving toward the beat

Of every heart in every chest

I am in a state of unrest

Moving toward the beat

Faster and faster go my feet

Love has turned me into a beast
