Fletch the arrows for aiming
and set path straight to me
Set the shaft swift and true
to kill the hidden beast
Make free with mortar
and brick to lay
to cover over all the entrances
and seal my soul up safe
For beauty wars with the beast
and I am the pawn they play
to host the battle within my chest
are the things I've left unsaid
Author notes
I am tired of fighting...I want this to be over, once and for all.
