The monster behind the words



A power exchange from the pounding of fists
 The sinister words out of the mouth of  the dark shadow that you once saw as a person
Protecting the undeserving monster that they hide so well  
The picture perfect image created by marker  that blacks out the faces of the pushed away the marker that washes in the sink but never really existed it was just in your head a person that you never thought you would become
a person who brings the worst out in you a person you don’t wanna be not ever
A person who  tricks you into believing that you are this person that takes your light and dims it like a candle
A person takes your breath away but not in a good way
A person who uses your weak spots to their advantage
The dark shadow covers you as you pulled them over your face the mess that you hide behind the make up that you used to cover the bruises the tears that she wiped The emotions that brightens from behind the dark finally comes to light   When you finally find your twin soul  and finally get to spread your wings to fly away from the disappointments  of the world watching from above us as people go to though same cycle  when does it end when does it stop when will people stop dressing in the costumes of good people pretending to be the nice guys when will we finally get to meet the nice guys The picture with the broken frame because your boxed in The monster behind the words
