monster

why are you falling for the same lies?

limbs tangled

tongues twisted

its stood before you

unrecognizable

why won’t you lock eyes with it?

the beast will close in

if we do not move

do you long for petrification of your muscles?

your souls synchronized

with the sunset

your heart said no

your body fought back

and said yes

the brain was stuck in conflict

your flesh spoke

and chose to partake

in the monster’s agenda

it drained you bit by bit

and still, you came back for an encore

is satisfaction absent?

if attention is sought, will the fool leap?

pride is subjective, but it killed you

much like curiosity killed the cat

They don’t believe in monsters

and never will

that is why you will always be misunderstood, my dear.
