The Monster In Me
there is a dark little monster that lives within me
whispering
clawing
its only desire is to escape
i hold my hands to my throat
Gasping for air
Its clawing for a way out
at the same time
its killed
my sweetness
in return
smoke
or rather the ashes from my innocent smiles
have been slain
wherein
dust and doom
spirals from my lungs
and black tar leaks through my eyelids
there is
an eerie silence
before its tiny feet
climb its way through my nostril
blood spilling
as it forces its hindlegs
eyes rolling
to the back of my head
dizzy
as my lips chatter against my teeth
meanwhile my body reverts to
fumbling to capture it
i am too late
i only hear its talons
scraping along the counter tops
it opens its mouth
poisionous tongue
the stench of its breath
filled with words of hate
choking its victims
things that ive bottled inside
for so long
intoxicating
bringing them closer
and going for the jugular
its only goal--->wanting revenge
to see hurt
oh monsterous thing
Ive tried to hide you for so long
but I was wrong
the sadness you will bring
