The Monster
My blind invisibility
Helps me to feed your fear,
For although you cannot see me,
Still you know that I am near,
Sometimes I will lash out at you,
And drink your sobs sublime,
But sometimes instead of chasing you,
I'll wait and bide my time,
Endless assault and then watching
Your tears flow is fun,
But once I've drunk them all away,
I like to leave you numb,
I'll screech at you and dig my claws
Deep down into your depths,
Then roar with laughter when you
Can't remember if you've slept,
When I've cornered you, I'll open wide,
Engulf you totally,
Munch you around my mouth before
I choose to set you free,
I'll chew you up and spit you out,
But if my hunger's true,
Sometimes I'll swallow all your sorrows,
And so be done with you,
If I decide to spare you,
Then the best part of my plan
Is that you'll wish that I had finished you,
So perhaps next time I can.
You'll lie alone and desperately
Wish I would just drop dead,
Well, good luck getting rid of me;
I live inside your head.
