The Monsters Heart
Written for a Frankenstein's Monster Prompt
I feel it in my fingers, I feel it in my toes
If only...
My head and my heart are conflicted
My fingers look murderous but crave gentle touch
My eyes seek solace and connection
But are met with horror
I hear more than I wish to
I am loneliness
The loneliness of 15 people
Connected but wanting to be torn apart
The stitches crude and ugly
The reason for the bind unfathomable
The heart of a poet
That tramples over beauty
I am destruction
Despite being created
I can never grow
Only fall apart
