I'm staring at these words
Clawing at these syllables
A linguist in lust with the page
Just another way for me
To escape

Familiar friends
That come to talk
Familiar feelings
That just won't rot
If you listen closely
To my heart beat
You'll hear a beast
Begging to be free

Desperately searching
For a pulse
Against these strings
To have and hold

If you listen closely
To my heart beat
You'll hear a beast
Begging to be freed

Begin to murmur
Begin to creak
Against the floorboards
Inside of me

You'll hear a murmur
A muffled scream
Shrill enough to
Curdle blood
and set this beast free
Watch this space.
