My Monster

I hurt through each hour of every day

I ache through the night

I need not hide the tears on my face

From your blind sight

 

Remain obscure

 

I keep my monster locked up

And have a cache of his lies

His smile overshadows none

Save the macabre mein of his eyes

 

You terrify me

 

This maintains his friendly guise

He grows and clings to my skin

And he finds a haunt in my life

Unbeknownced to me, he tramples

Every living entity within

 

My monster, you have a home

 

 

As I shut out all mortal beings

I hear a voice not my own,

It starts a hoarse whisper then screams

"Consume!"

 

Power is yours,monster

 

Now,attempt to unearth my whereabouts

You will fail

I am in a state of destitution

Where we hurt and never tell

 

I cannot let you in

Full of this villian I call my friend

He is selfish and vain

And I believe he is right when he says

that you are wrong

 

You are dispicable,my monster

 

I would not dare bare my heart

Lest it be trampled upon

By careless words thrown too far

Spoken with an ignorant tongue

 

Ssshhh,my dear monster they will not speak

 

So here I lie in my bed of secrets

Covered by a blanket of thorns

Untouchable by appearance

Evanescent through a veil

of a mysterios vapor

 

My monster,why do you weaken me so?

 

Still you reach

Not seeing the next step

Still you search

Not knowing where my heart of hearts

is kept

 

You are my monster whom I despise

 

Be still,listen to the silence

It rings out loud with the naked truth

Your eyes strain for light;close your eyes

Drift into my dark muse

Lay aside what you believe should be

And slowly,you will see-

My monster
