The Devourer of Hearts

Sad songs whispered from trees

Rhythm kept in time with the buzzing of bees

Alone the devourer of hearts walks by

And silent goes the night

Flies eat at carcasses left behind

Crowding around lifeless eyes

The wolf can no longer hide


Once a peaceful place

The forest has fallen from grace

Ravaged by the she-wolf, the devourer of hearts

Her victims bodies and  souls torn apart

The only thing they wanted was to win her heart

Faced with guilt that she could no longer hide

She tried to take her life

Yet no matter how hard she tried

Her spirit never died

A flame eternal, indifferent and spiteful

The hands of fate would smite her


Damned to the forest she killed

With guilt and horror she became filled

Mistakes of the past went without reparation

So her soul went without restoration

And now in the forest she stays

To live out the remainder of her sentenced days

Awaiting a love she can never regain
