Our Love is a Monster

Stepping Forward

My voice is weak.

The cords scream.

It's dark here

in this room.

I long to scream

for help.

I am in pain.

Pain of heartbreak

of loss.

You lie next to me.

Thinking of her.

Your eyes move

as if you were stalking

your prey.

The hunt will never end

for the next victim.

The next girl.

The way your eyes meet mine

would fear the undead.

The way your hand feels the stone.

the stone of the last life

fearing of getting caught.

That deepens you in fright.

I see that now.

I see.

I won't be this girl much longer

I won't be stuck

in this loop, that you call a life

I will fight.

I will fight;

fight to step forward.
