One glance to the side and she crawled into an uncomfortable ball
Holding her breathe
Slowly letting the walls hug tightly
She froze in silence
No oxygen
No windows
Just the sound of her own heartbeat

Her face puzzled
Deciding weather to laugh or cry
She didn't let fear choke her by the neck
Fore that would have been the end of it

This thing stared deep into her eyes
Strangling her so called innocence
Every smile
Every laugh
Every warm moment danced away as if it were their will to do so
This was no laughable matter

This thing took in the good and released evil
All hell broke lose upon those who dared to cross paths

It became clear to her that this creature
That held the world between its lips
Wasn't just any kind of entity
It was a beast
The kind of beast that would rip your heart right out of your chest
The kind of beast that fed on fear and laughed at your tears
A beast that couldn't enjoy a spark of light
So it couldn't let anything jubilant
Take control of its home

This beast had invaded her home
Which is no longer sweet
Would it be wrong to blame it all on the beast
Or herself for letting it eat her purity away
Leering at the mirror with terror written all over
She accepted the beast
