Monster
February 22, 2011
It scorches my soul
and hurts my insides
My heart, breaking
Looming deepest scars
Pain rushing in my mind
booming and screaming
and striking me blind
Need to open my eyes
But I can't see who I am
Dreams extinguishing me
Drunk, off the lack of your love
The distress you sent through
and the lies that you told
Can't take it anymore
Because it's getting old.
And I have yet to know
why it still leaves me cold
Freezing me in place
As the monster hidden,
one you cannot see,
Is rotting away my insides
Ripping, pulling, tugging
Killing me.

It feels like there is a monster inside of me, and I'm too weak to stop it.
