The Monster
My heart beats frantically as the Monster’s jaws enclose me.
I no longer fight it,
The Monster won long ago.
When I was still young,
When I could still fight.
The Monster arrived not long after I met Him.
I was young,
Unafraid and Pure,
He ruined me.
And left the door open on the way out,
That’s when the Monster came.
I couldn’t see the Monster at first.
I didn’t believe in him.
Who would?
But I was naïve,
And that’s how the Monster took over.
The Monster became a part of me.
So close I didn’t know where he stopped and I began.
The Monster huddled in dark corners,
Waiting to scare me.
Invading my dreams until I had no more.
Now the Monster has ended me.
No longer is there a trace,
Of the girl I once was.
She is gone and isn’t coming back.
I’m the Monster now,
And I will not be silenced.
