Chapter 2: Monster beneath my Bed

The monster underneath my bed,
Became my only friend
This friendship will never end
Even if I'm already dead.
********

It started way back in high school. There was this particular girl who loved making friends.

She always had this aura around her where anybody could approach her but at the same time it warns you to stay cautious on what to say.

She called everybody her friends, sure why not?, but even if she's quite aware they don't really like her for who she is. She stays indifferent and never bites back.
******

I was once the girl, who slept all day
Wore a mask in school
Had a role to play
Until I drowned in the pool.

They found who I really am
Reputation fell off the throne
Friends didn't give me a d@mn
They left; I'm all alone.
*****
Funny thing about her is that even though she likes being surrounded by these people, she'd rather stay at home and sleep than going out and bond with them.

"We see each other in school all the time, so why would we need to hang out outside some more?" is what her mind would always reason out.

Then the time came where her 'friends' decided to visit her without any warning.

It was the worse time to say at least, what they saw changed their point of view towards her.

Only that she was simply a girl who had a very dark side...

The type of girl who loved a very nice view of blood around her.

******

The day ended,
As so my life did
I looked beneath my bed
Where my friend, the monster, hid.

***

The girl tried to run away through reasoning out. Though in the end they all turned away.

The next day, rumor spread like wildfire in school. Gossip there, gossip everywhere and they where all directed on her every time she passes by.

As the day finally ended, she went home. Finding the only escape she ever knew.
*****

He smiled at me
For remembering him
I was the only one who could see
I appreciate him more it seem.

Through my hardest times
He would be there
My whole world literally shines
I have a friend that has time to spare.
****
She remembered that she stashed her escape beneath her bed. It was always there sitting and waiting patiently for her return.

Once she found it she loved the mere sight of her long lost friend.

A friend she thought she abandoned before.

But there it was right on her hand, never again to leave her side.
****

One night, he asked me never to leave
I said sure
I didn't think he could deceive
Too bad I fell for his lure.

I didn't want him to go
So I did what I had to do
I had to stoop so low
To stab myself with the painful blow.
****

It was very tempting to say at least.
"With your help everything would end. Thank you for being there for me"

****
And swim in my own blood bath
Be and stay with the monster
No problem, no pain after that
Smile the biggest one I could muster.

****

Finally with the craziest thought she had...

The Knife she called her true friend...

Tempted her to run away from all the pain she longed to abandon but it stabbed her right back again and again taunting her endlessly.......
