Monster

Nobody else knows the monster that is you,

But I do.

I live with all the horrors of our past,

Hoping as you walk out,

Maybe this time it’ll last.

I see the shadow of your horns and your tail as you leave;

I know the way that you deceive.

Forced smiles, forced hugs, and warm brown eyes

It really is one hell of a disguise.

Then sweet words roll over your wicked tongue;

Tainting the world, youre a loaded gun.

But I’ll hold my head high, and I wont pretend to cry,

When you walk out that door.

I know that then I’ll feel a freedom, I never had before.

So take your darkness, take your schemes, and secrets with your lies,

And after all this time I know that I can finally say goodbye.
