Frankenstein
Footsteps in silence
Joy in sorrow
Calm in the midst of an inner storm
Everything about you is an opposite,
an extreme in the simplest form
Frankenstein come out of the shadows
and into the daylight,
only to find what you seek
The one physical need you can’t suffice
is distant
Can you see the fear in my eyes?
Can you see my own vulnerability,
that restrains my soul
The terror,
that causes my heart to shudder
my very body to shake
when you look at me
Do you not feel my body tense
as you run your fingers across my bare skin?
You’re relentless,
and heartless
A monster with a dead beating heart
Alive in every sense,
yet your touch brings death
You’re a plague to the world
A deadly sickness, that only brings death
but behind those sad, angry eyes
A yearning for acceptance
shines brighter than ever
Your misshapen, big hands
reach for my heart
ready to take my love
even if I refuse to give it
Ready to seize me,
in a heart beat
With a terrible strength,
to silence my scream forever
if I so much as resist
Yet, I stay
for your words alone,
The soft way you say my name
The gentle tone
that softens my heart
and stills my raging heartbeat
the terror of your love brings
Our love is a war,
Between fear and serenity
As a raging storm at sea
And the calm, breathtaking beauty of a sunset
Our love is full of polar opposites
But we are polar opposites,
Me in my simple beauty
And you in those dark secrets
That plague your soul
A deadly game of love,
That only one can win
