The monster
This monster has no face
But it’s terrifying still
Feasting on the weak
Turning all the good ones ill
Like quicksand it swallows whole
Never letting them go
Taking them into the darkest places
Changing everything they know
Ocassionally leaving their side
But always quick to return
Never letting them out of sight
Behind them at every turn
It’s more likely this monster will win
Slowly grinding them down
Sometimes they get away
Those that don’t will drown
Its not the captive that are weak
This monster is just too strong
Taking lives on the daily
His list of captives is long
Weakness isn’t giving in to this monster
It has strength beyond compare
The captives will be lost too soon
Being eaten by their own dispair
