Egotismal
I gave birth to the monster
Under my bed
It spoke softly of a sweeter time
When I was the center of
Attention
And I craved it more than any drug
Intensely lonely
fearful
vicious
Snorted on a silver platter
It does not know of love
And frankly nor do I
For we joined at the hip
When it donned my disguise
To know that we are one
In everlasting war
Until I light the fuse
And detonate the core
I'll never go to sleep
I'll never say my prayers
The shadow's cast
Across my floor
Quoth the monster:
givememore
