Secrets- Earthbound

I walk around to and fro I have no home so I roam My existence is meaningless And I can't reach him Something separates us A strong force won't let me near him Why can't I touch him? He looks so very sad My heart is aching and breaking Something is wrong All of a sudden like a flood The memories came back He is like Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde He did this to me, it his fault I told him to seek help for his demons I thought loving him would cure him Alone in our home he changed right before my very eyes He told me how much he loved me as he choked the very life out of me I am in love with a monster and I alone took that terrible and deep dark secret to my grave 12-26-18 Inspired by the secrets Contest
