On a crisp Autumn day
Or a frosty December night
I am consumed by my thoughts
I am overwhelmed by the memories
Those cold, sleepless nights
Drowning myself in tears
The potent scent of iron devouring me
A deep crimson stain covering me, as if it were a blanket
The only sound audible is my endless sobs
And my heavy breathing
And it is all because of one person
One who is so realistic
But just an imagination
The monster inside me

This is about discovering the side of you that may not be easily is covered by a passer-by. The only person who can see what is wrong is yourself and there is no one who can help you because you yourself are the monster.
