Stay away from the beast
He’s a thorn to the crease
The beat of my heart relies
On this small man to decide
If whether I live or die

A beautiful, poised predator stalks
Composed with a mask of elegance
Secretly, it wants to mock

It waits waits waits for a helpless victim
It finally attacks, the mask momentarily gone
If only the others could see this rabid dog

But, no, the mask returns
The world resumes
And nobody has any concerns

Strong footsteps echo throughout the cold halls of my empty home
These footsteps carry malice and ignorance
Emotions only a monster could hold in his tone
I’m petrified of this rich beast
But I can only sit by his side and smile
Once I sit, I feel defeat
My inner morals are crushed
They’re squashed until they can’t be heard anymore
Nothing can be said to heal what was torn

Sparking ocean hues were always with the blues
Even with the sun’s radiant heat,
The sea, too, felt defeat

Beauty also comes with rain
It’d be ignorant to assume there’s no pain
Water rushes then leaves
But the sea is always complete

And yet again I was a lone tree
standing with all the other’s eyes on me
When will the day be when somebody finally follows
Maybe it’ll be tomorrow

Summer left then Fall came
The other’s leaves fell from their frames
But I who rendered lonely,
My leaves stayed loyal

Fall left then Winter came
All I could feel was the coldness of Maine
Snow fell on those without amnesty
But I stayed composed with beauty

Winter left then Spring came
Flowers surround my way
While the others are growing back their jewelry,
I stay the same already filled with perspicuity

A full loop and no one ever followed
Not even with the promise of tomorrow
But the feeling of loneliness never bothered me
For I remain beautiful, while the others decay periodically
