The Apology

Horror

Poetry

She hid in the closet from a man that wore an apology and hated herself for the tears that fell there.

She sat on the couch with a monster who wore a man and hated herself for trembling there.

She looked upon a friend who became a monster and never looked again.

She sat and hid, she spoke and grinned, but never did she ever look again.

I love how the structure of the first sentences match up, and the final word of each stanza is paired up, and I love the part “with a monster who wore a man” I think that it worked really effectively as a visual as a reader, I love the horror aspect, I can never seem to get horror written correctly, but this poem has captured it wonderfully! This is very great genre merging and an amazing poem :)
