That Horrible Monster: A Ballad 

That horrible monster with the name I can’t pronounce

That ate him

Swallowed him whole

That horrible monster that took it’s time

No rush, no hurry

Slow and steady got the job done

That horrible monster that loves to bring pain

Pain, that not only him, but everyone else felt

But didn’t show it

That horrible monster that left a hole in people’s hearts

A void which can’t be filled

That never goes away

That horrible monster that took him

It didn’t leave a note, an apology letter

Just enough of an enigma to keep you wondering, but angry

That horrible monster that just keeps fighting

It never gets along with anyone

And it never will give up.

(Well, in the end it sort of ended up becoming a poem thing, like all of my writing turns out. But... It fits the requirements and it's pretty emotional to me so I guess that's all that matters.)
