I keep IT --
Wrapped up
All ribbons
And bows
I sleep with IT
Not what he THINKS
Not WHAT HE'D --
GUESS
Never that simple
Never that blunt
But he's a coward
He only chases --
The Easy Pickens
The helpless
The innocents
Those that can't --
Those that won't
Defend themselves
He's perfectly content
Biding his time --
Torturing the frail
Awaiting his moment
To close IN
With sick certainty
Finishing the remainder
Any way he can --
There's no ceiling
He has no conscience
He continues onward --
Plotting, Cunning
Biding his time
A coward waiting
For his moment
Every victim is --
HELPLESS to him --
EVENTUALLY.
And what happens --
After this?
After his moment?
I may not survive --
To see it.
