Monster

Looking into your eyes something is gone the corners of your mouth are red you don’t rest your gaze long you look away dark runs under each eye your hands are not steady tremble and quake Quietly softly your body shakes you are not whole you are not the same Something has come, cruel and sick what has begun? deep dark deeds, suspect… what has this monster touched! What has he done?… I…I I need my gun My heart burns my wrath needs a victim how can he… that monster be such as it is, such as I see how this will end. Because you were lost in your pretty little life. How could this monster be I will destroy him… The Bastard! I will redeem your mind, heart, soul Please stay for a while, even a second in a heartbeat… but how must you leave, take flight! Don’t look back he will pay I swear upon my mortal coil, my own ruined soul. NO! Take flight I will meet you in the next Life You can’t stay, no difference can you now make The light in your eyes is gone tears bleeding, cold my heart I read your forlorn look, desperate Far away, yours eyes see nothing… I know him and his dark deeds because something is out of place Dark runs your cheeks deep under your eyes Marking your inner face Oh! God! How he will pay! Still, your trembling heart, flee into the dark! Walk briskly away Don’t look back! I need my gun, dark forbidden Going on the run, looking for the one The one I will see pay A bullet with his name How dare he take her inner flame I see salutations to what I have begun… And I know what MUST be done! Now go…bring me my gun! …please take your leave as a spirit must fly, I will see you in the next life!
