Monster

To add things up I did not have to do much addition I discovered what you really are All I needed was a little intuition There is no word to describe it No true definition It was made painfully obvious to me by your hideous rendition A siren song that destroyed a man’s whole world sung by a deceptive musician Is that who you really are? Do you lack the human condition? Or are you just carrying on some pathetic tradition? Your heartlessness overwhelming by your lack of contrition

Powerful poem, James. Reminds me of the great song "Heartless," best sung by Kris Allen but written by a rapper. People who make others feel this type of pain truly do "lack the human condition." Well penned! Love, Carolyn
