There's a monster
In my head
As I lay here
In my bed
Stars and sky
Don’t follow me
River roar
They come to be
Like the razor
That I hold
All my lies
I have told
Scars have come
Not to bother me
Sun and moon
They chide on me
Hidden deep
Within my head
I have sought
To see my end
You can’t say
You care for me
When I know
Its not meant to be
Every lie
You’ve ever told
Every secret
I’ve left to hold
The monsters free
They come to me
They whisper words
That I’m not free
I die inside
They love the blood
Tears they flow
Just like a flood
I get the courage
To see it through
That is when
I laid eyes on you
You’re beauty was
Just like a single rose
Like blood red petals
My love will grow
You’re laugh was like
A ringing bell
When first I saw
I sure fell
You lips as plump
As a plum
Pink as a tulip
You strike me dumb
You hair so soft
Just like a feather
You hold me tight
Just like a tether
You’ve held me in
You’re arms so strong
To tame this beast
I must belong
To you my love
Is why I write
This poem here
In my room tonight
I love you as much
As the heart will allow
Without you
I’m sure to bow
Like a dead tree
In the wind
I am sure to break
Sure to be skinned
But for you
I am sure to love
As long as the white feathers
Are on the dove
There's no monster
In my head
You are here
So my story may end...
