The Beast Poem by Tracy Rollings

Please don't let this beast, eat away at my heart
the day you walked away, it's made a home in my chest.
It's been there eating and taring, my insides apart
always eating and ripping at my heart, but it never wants to rest.

You are the only one, that can kill this beast which lives within me
all you have to do, is reach out and touch me, it leaves with no fight.
You are the only one in the world that can set me free
pull me into your arms and say that you will always be there, to hold me tight.

For you are the only love, that has ever got this deep in my heart
and I just can't think of a reason, why you would just tare it apart.
