Innocent Monster

Innocent Monster

My world was as small as a marble bag.
I remember the darkness.
The sudden silent kiss was deadly,
like a snakebite.
It told the entire story
in a language I couldn’t understand.
The world was his.

Freedom vanished before my ears;
it became an instant illusion.
My soul was sucked out
and swallowed whole,
trampled on by a thousand bare feet.
I was never the same.

The look in your eyes
when I saw you again.
Mysterious and elusive.
That look in your eyes
—you never liked me?
That look in your eyes:
he still doesn't get it.

Now I am coming for you.
Nothing can stop me.
You’ve created a monster.
I’ve done what was told.
You’ve created a monster,
and your body’s gone cold.

All I needed was a friend,
but my wish opened up a box of
confusion, horror, and torment.
And then they came for me.
