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!
