I've been ready for awhile, and lately been walking down this aisle. It's getting darker as I wander and slowly tip-toe my way through.
I see you in a passing pew, smiling and waving, offering a trusting hand. Your caring eyes blaze through mine that hold fear for a red-eyed beast in the pew behind.
Its eyes glow red with villainy, putting me in agony. He stands tall like a werewolf on hinds, breathing heavily and convincing minds.
Your hand still extended, I want to take it. I know no beast is in you, but the beast is always there.
I want to go down a different path, and maybe the one with you is best, but perhaps I'll find another beast, who'll eat my heart and leave me rot.
