The Kiss of a Monster

His kiss was light,
It made me wince in delight.

I made no struggle to fight,
I wanted to feel his kisses all night.

But finally I came down…

I fell face first into the ground,
There was not a single usher of sound.

I get high so I can fly,
Into the honey blue sky.

I need to leave this painful world,
I feel like I’m being hurled.

So I take and take and take,
Even when I know my body will break.

I sniff, snort, smoke, inject and drink,
From miles people can hear our glasses clink.

The drugs are addictive I love his kiss,
I know when I fall, it’s him I will miss.

But finally I came down…

Down, down, down,
When can I feel safe and sound?

I pay and pay and pay,
He attacks my insides in every way.

Don't go I plead, stay, stay, stay,
Please! Come play.

He burns my insides out,
I want to yell and shout.

How did I become this F*cked up?
My friends don’t know what’s up.

I cringe as he lets me go,
I try not to let it show.

More, more, more!
It’s now a part of my body’s core.

But for the life that’s growing inside of me,
I must let my baby boy be free.

Even now I feel the need,
But I won’t do it anymore, not even speed.

My baby boy is clean and pure,
I hope he loves me even more.

Every day I seem him grow,
Soon he will see the winter snow.
