Preyed upon.

I reckon that something preys my heart,
as I feel a little more heartless everyday,
my arcane quietude, sometimes;
suddenly breaks into soliloquy, and
then I am - to myself, a familiar stranger,
a little more heartless, since
preyed upon.

But that is not my fault;
not of my stars or the lessening of my heart,
For, it has been preyed by a beast
that sought its love in its depths,
though it may never find the love,
it might be the tastiest in its feast.

- Syed Rehan
