Monsters

The grass I step on will wilt and never grow, No colors ever show. There are monsters, I hope, Hidden in this place. But these monsters I hold, Claw through my heart, Begging for air. Held them in for too long, I continue to battle them. I feel like I’m lost in this place, I want to leave but I’m too scared to move, For I might scare you and I fear you will go. Nothing left inside but a name, I want to live my life to be with you, But there is something creeping beneath my skin. Now these monsters I hope, will leave, I’ve never been religious but I’d pray to any god, To remove this pain and make it leave this place. You’re name will never leave my heart, And I will never let these monsters touch it. But these sadistic monsters I keep locked inside, Will end up killing me and I fear they might touch you.
