Monster
-M.Y.
All I feel is a numbing,
Almost empty feeling
When I look into your eyes.
They shatter me up
Like a thousand shards of glass
After you threw it across the room
Only for it to miss me
By just an inch.
The sweet words
That used to come from your mouth,
Are now laced with venom
As you spit distaste in my face.
And how am I to tell
My friends I fall flat on my face,
Almost everyday?
When the only thing that falls flat
Is the love you used to have for me.
I no longer crave the scratches
You'd leave on my back
After we made love,
Because the scratches
Are no more a sign of love
Than the bruises you left
Under my chest from
Beating too hard.
How many times do I have to
Tell you, my ribs aren't your drums.
Because the only thing
That should be beating
Is the sound of my heart,
When I look at you.
But now when I look at your face
I no longer see the person
I fell in love with,
But a monster disguised as you.
