Monster

I can't believe it.
I can't believe everyone wants to shut you out.
Numb you out.
I can't believe I almost wanted to.
Your voice, I miss it.

In these dark,
Empty,
Scary,
Haunted hallways,
You were there.
Holding my hand.

Your clawed talons,
Your bared fangs,
Your sickly sweet voice
With haunting words,
Still fill the empty, lonely air.

You're a bully.
A monster.
A monster that is the very air I breathe.

A part of me.

I can't cut you away now.
Never again.
