Monster

They say it’s inside
The reason for the nightmares

They told me to fight it
But I can’t win

They say it’s gone 
But it’s still there

They all ran away 
Because it came out to play

They told her to get away 
But she wanted him near

They were in shock 
When she held him tight

They live in fear
While she loves him dear.
