A Lovely Monster

This... monster is killing me.

Pulling the breath from my chest,

You dont have to say what I see.

If I run he will follow

If I scream he will laugh.

How did I get into this??

I can't do the math.

The embrace is lovely,

But the fall is not worth the pain.

I started this, now I'm shackled.

I'm chained.

I would ask for help,

for a way or a cure.

But am I really sure

That I don't want this anymore?

Every moment

Slips from my view,

Every thought of us,

Every memory of you.

So if this monster

Steals my pain....

If it mends my heart

Is there something to gain?

I know when I wake up

My heart will again churn,

But it is worth it

If I can watch the world burn.

This is the last time!

I will walk away!

But isn't that the same thing,

I say every day??

The monster, the wretch,

Is laughing in my head

Whispering words of evil,

Of depression, of dead....

I cannot run away

From this esape of mine.

I know it is deadly,

But I will pay the fine.

I am falling into the embrace

This deadly love I found.

I know if I do this,

My eyes won't open the next time around.
