Monsters Know Love

Monsters Know Love I'm not afraid of ghosts Nor goblins, nor demons of the like I'm not afraid of rejection Nor hateful words that sting and bite I held you in my arms and I tasted freedom I smiled into your eyes and I felt home I have a heart. I'm alive. I'm not a monster anymore They fear me. The rush of the blue and wide And they can't speak the language of the intellect My lonely heart died I broke it down as much as I could bare And still they tilted their heads and gave me a blank stare They can not see me. Beauty and Wit blind them All the more to be And as I much as I want LOVE They can never get that close to me I am the rose with thorns of poison My loneliness an impentrable shield of pain Thick that tar. I am sorry. That my guard stands as it may But I wish on my life you could SEE ME My heart that sings songs of love My mind that creates adventures My lips that caress the worries from your brow I wish that you could understand me And love, comfort and protect the imperfect me somehow
