Awake InsideA Poem by Renette Hollow
Don't wake me up, my beast is awake inside
It's roaming the corridors of my twisted mind Snarling because it still hasn't gotten free I know that its dearest wish is to destroy me But I can't let it, I won't let it out again All it would do is cause my lover more pain So I keep it inside, I keep it in its cage And my fearful words appear on the page. Don't wake me up, its stronger while I sleep It wants me to let it out, but control is mine to keep This monster that I hold inside my soul is strong And I know that I can't keep it all in for long Soon it will all come pouring out, but I will try Because to keep my love from pain I will die I will die before he feels any such agony again Rather than him for a moment, I will forever be in pain. Don't wake me up, my beast is full of rage, It's slipping free, it's getting out of its cage And I'm frightened of what it's going to do It still hates him, oh, my lover, I fear for you It still wants you to suffer for what you said But I won't let it hurt you, no matter what you did. I love you, I won't let you hurt like you did before Even if you part of me hates you, the rest of me loves you more. Don't wake me up, a monster lurks behind my eyes For another's gaze it never ever shies Should I open them you'll see it staring out If I speak, it's with its voice I'll shout To get away, don't look at me, I hate that it shows I didn't want you to see, I didn't want you to know It's roaming the corridors of my twisted mind So don't wake me up, my beast is awake inside.
