Poetry

Alex.

The words repeat again.
Murder in my head
Poisoning
Me.

I am the monster
I still bleed.
I am the monster
Come with me.
I am the monster
I still bleed.
I am the monster.
Come with me.

The ego cries
Before it dies.
Views of pleasure
Fill the vacancy.

I am the monster
I still bleed.
I am the monster
Come with me.
I am the monster
I still bleed.

You are the MONSTER.
I’ll come with you.
I’ll come with YOU.
ONLY you.

I am the monster.
Underneath your bed
I am the gangster.
With the gun to your head
But you don’t know me
I still bleed.
I am the monster
Come with me.

I’ll come with you.
