The Monster

I’m only safe in the Dark
Where the Monsters can’t touch me
Can’t see me
They prowl under the daytime Sun
It’s only safe to play at Night
Am I the Creature in the abyss?
Feeling the Darkness blanket me rather than conceal enemies?
I’d always pitied the Monster.
Ugly inside and out.
Why bother with such a Thing?
It’ll never amount to anything.
You’d never benefit.
Was.
“won’t you stay?
She was. He was.
“please?”
They were.
“please stay.”
Gone.
“just a bit longer.”
Gone. Going.
“wait!”
Leaving. Again.
“don’t leave me. Just. yet”

“You’ll never amount to anything.”
Said the light

And
Slammed
The
Door

Shut.
