monster

i think i have a monster in my bed

creeping along the blood i shed

i feel its heart beating as my head is pounding

against the wall that keeps spinning and mending

i think i have a monster in my skin

crawling and breathing from within

i feel its warmth just like a fresh wound i cut

deep in my forearm as my eyes begin to shut

i think i have a monster in my soul

the priest told me my play was foul

i feel its teeth ripping for a way out to the world

each time my mouth try to utter some word

slice

slash

stab

i think this monster gets bigger

as my heart becomes weaker

it consumes me

eats me alive

and i have no will to survive

and i think

i

we become

one
