Slay the Beast

Oh the rain is coming down
pounding all around
threatening to consume me
to slam me to the ground
and rape my soul
as life only knows
as my spirit cries out for release
from this deadly beast
called love, and all its glory
that leaves nothing left
for anyone, sorry
So you can turn around
and walk away
because from this day
there is nothing left here to slay
No more joy to give
no more pain to hold
just a lonely woman
with a heart so cold
