The Modification Monster
“I have created a monster”
The first thing I heard
When I was brought back to life
I looked down at my hands
One eye pointed at the floor
The other at these odd limbs
These are not my hands
They are not matching
One rotten and green
The other
Bare bone
My vision still foggy
I recall what had happened
What you had done to me
We were staring at the stars
Both leaning against the rail
Of this rusted bridge
You said everything would be okay
I believed you
You put your hand on my back
A sweet sentiment turned bitter
What I thought was
Butterflies in my stomach
Was really a drop of forty five feet
A plunge into an icy
Shallow
Stream
What a shame
As I recall this horror
You stare at me in disgust
From across this cement room
As if you didn’t cause this
I step off of this platform
I walk as quickly as I can
With my new legs
They are uneven and weak
With stitches and bruises
What have you done
I make my way to the mirror
I was beautiful
What have you done?
My face beaten and bloody
One eye blood shot
The other out of the socket
Pointed downward
At this dreary floor
My lips torn and purple
I think it is your turn
You could use some
Modifications
