I Am Not a Monster

Yes  I  am  a  towering  fierce being, 
Yet  you  still  bring  me  down bleeding. 

Yes  I  enjoy  causing nightmares  and  battling  paladins, 
Yet  with  you my  devastating  powers  have  fallen under  agonizing  defeats. 

Yes  I  have  a  scarred  wounded  face, 
Yet  with  crayons  you leave  me  with  cherubic countenance. 

Yes  I  have  a  deceitful evil laugh, 
Yet  you are  able to  read  its honest  and  auspicious  graph. 

Yes  I  mostly plan to  overthrow  something, 
Yet  you jolt  me  back to  sanity with  your  alluring humming. 

Yes  I  need  to  be feared  by  people, 
Yet  with  you I  leave  my heart  to  be  tucked  behind  your conspicuous  sepal. 

Yes  I  do  lack  the  sense  of wrong  or  right  certainly, 
Yet  with  you  I  am  wrapped  around  and  engulfed  conscientiously. 

Yes  I  am  not  a  monster, 
For  you  have  robbed  my heart  and  I  don’t  need  it  back  any  longer.
