INTERNAL

By Luke Johnson

A struggling heart

Is facing an onslaught

Beasts aim to tear it apart

His attempts may be all for not

From his chest wolves emerge

Hyenas rip at his veins internally

The heart shall submerge

In a fox's sly treachery

The clock strikes midnight

The heart the beasts did shred

Beneath the evil moonlight

A jackal walks amongst the ruins of the dead
