The Beast Within

My heart bleeds for it's victims

that were senselessly slaughtered.

And i find little rest beneath a full

moon.

For i fear that it will once again 

be unleashed on this very night.

Devouring victim upon victim 

that attempt to take flight.

This centuries old curse 

won't stay locked inside

and i am not strong enough

to battle its will to survive .

And when the full moon rises 

my body will disolve bringing

the beast completely alive.

With little memory of the aftermath 

except for a trail of blood and bodies 

that litter my path.

My cowardly attempts to end it all 

have taken to many lives and now 

before the full moon rises the monster

must fall.

Placing the gun to my head silver bullet 

locked in can't pull the trigger, 

can't stop the beast within.
