"We do our best, You're the rest"

He rips me from where I am
And violently throws me to where he wants me to be

His energy courses through me
His emotions become mine
His hatred burns inside me
His aggression compels me to destroy

He takes away all things civil
And leaves me something less than human
With one motive:
Destroy

Person
      Destroy
Place
      Destroy
Thing
      Destroy
      Destroy
      Destroy

When the chaos fades into order
And he has satisfied my beast inside
I am left with peace

But I shudder to think
What I would do without him

Neither, However, I decided not to publicize the meaning I put behind this, as I think it's best for the reader to give it their own meaning.
