No beat, no pump, no thump


He was a worthy opponent in the battle for her soul

No way he would win for she stood alone

His words couldn't sway her,for she swayed herself

His touch couln't faze her

For only she knew how she felt

Her heart laid cold on the bed

No beat, no pump, no thump

Lifeless her body laid as her soul cried out

No breath could save what had already taken place

She cried out "Stop, I'm warning You."

He did not delay

The warning he did not heed

So the torture did proceed

Moment by moment, time after time

She reached with her hands and grabbed at the flesh

I'm sorry he yelled, but the cry was too late

No sound recompens

Just quiet as found

The body laid down

As his soul wonders around.
