Say those words again.

Bring to the surface

the person I used to be.

Break my heart again.

you did it on purpose

to get a reaction out of me.

The monster I threw away,

you seem to love her

despite any of her flaws.

The monster wants to play,

my memories stir

and I scratch you with these claws.

Everything after is a blur.

The monster wants to stay.

You love every one of her flaws

and every bit of her

is what made me throw her away.

She wants a reaction out of me.

She's doing it on purpose

and using my pen.

She's the person I never want to see

come to the surface.

Never say those words again.
