"The Monster"
I've witnessed your suffering
Your deep pain unparalleled
Open yourself Love's flower
only to wither and die
I've heard your secrets bemoaned
Intimate and euphoric
Here envelopes you a cave
whose dark vastness steals your cries
I've felt your red betrayal
Naked in your rape and strife
At last, flee from this monster
who enshrouds in every lie
I am this Monster.
