Silver Monster

I never used to believe; 
monsters existed only under the bed
or in the nighttime closet
until I met one in the color  red.
Red that first was silver rich
I met him by accident
but he tasted what lay beneath.
Monster wants me permanent. 
He took things before I had a say
he was my skins first kiss,
he wants me as his;
a monster with sharp silver lips.
