Monster, Monster

Words pour through fingertips,
Glimmering gold and red.
Resembling blood,
A pool forms,
Deep in colour
And thick in feel.

Greedy hands,
Rip a gathering in two halves,
Only to find empty darkness.
Vengeance comes forth,
Like a monster clawing his way out of the chasm.

In fear,
Step back.
In fear,
Turn and run.
Selfishness overtakes the innocent feet,
Doesn't even turn back for regret.
