My Beloved Burns
I dreamt freedom
For this innocent soul
She has been trapped
Unreasonably so
I her sole protector
Decide the only way
Save my beloved girl
Live another day
In the cult I go
No good in sight
I kiss my humanity
Soft into goodnight
I say horrid evil
Commit awful crimes
All for my girl
Beloved won’t die
I almost lost
Myself in this place
But I held dear
My beloved’s face
And there! I see
My girl stripped bare
The vile creatures
Paused a moment, stare
That is when I kill
Each and every one
Slaughter them
Until the job is done
I hold my quivering dear
Softly in my grasp
“I beg, don’t hurt me”
I hear her timid rasp
She didn’t recognize
Her one and only guard
These final evil deeds
Have left a charred heart
Sinkhole
How much soul
Has forever been lost
Divine technology
Enjoyed at what cost
How many hours spent
In a mindless rut
It’s Pandora’s box
Better left shut
No one thinks, acts, feels
The way they did before
“It makes a big world small”
But life is left a chore
With choppy minds
And broken hearts
All that’s left to do
Is stare at the parts
Torn up humanity
Left in the past
Peace always fading
Will we ever last
