Monster

Tearing, ripping at my gut

Slashing while you're in a rut

Bleeding hopelessness and despair

But only when you are there

Run and hide and stab the space

You will never find a place

Aching, longing to be free

Just move along, right past me

Embedded in my very core

Your rotten, stinking words -NO MORE

Cancel all the private dates

Oozing dripping spitting hate

Nerves on fire

On the taut high wire

Dancing to the puppet strings

The torture that tomorrow brings

Pointed daggers in my skull

Your words are darts, my will is null

Tie that noose around my neck

And from there send me to heck

Demons eating in a rage

I think it's time to turn the page

Pounding, storming, jackknifed rage

Time for you to act your age

Disposable world I'm living in

You were my biggest sin
