Titles are Overrated

Part 169

I'm afraid that

I am the monster.

My teeth sink into

the raw flesh of my lips.

Blood is all I taste.

I love you,

but I'd be damned

if I ever gave you

my love.

God forbid

my bruised fingers

ever touching your skin.

I wouldn't want 

to scratch your face.

Don't get too close,

my darling -

the darkness will devour me

before anything else.

Before you.

monster of my own mind
