The Monster Beckons
The monster beckons
And you come to meet this new friend.
Fear entices you
And you go, led by its sweet poison.
Loneliness wraps around you
And you feel warm in its presence.
Pain sears through your heart
And your soul asks for more.
Then hope tries to break your defences
But you shut it down without blinking.
Happiness timidly crawls into your life
But you chase it away and turn off the light.
Darkness veils your universe
And you sit on the floor, cry, and give in.
You are now an empty vessel
And you thrive in your misery.
The monster beckons
And you welcome this old friend.
