its 2:34 A.M.
the city lights are covered by curtains i don't remember shutting
i can feel my trembling hand
but i can’t see it
the ink black atmosphere that wraps around me
reminded me of no one
that i was alone.
that i am alone.
that i’d be alone.
so I made a mistake
i welcomed the monster underneath my bed
gave her a name
and let her take mine.
i know she’s the monster everyones supposed to fear
but once you're really alone
even the monster underneath your bed is someone you can talk to
we got close
maybe a little too close
she snuck through me
and i breathed her in.
now, i am cracked.
i am shards and spilled ink.
my teeth hold me back like I'm a prisoner within myself
i am reduced to nothing but empty words
leaving no trace of who i used to be
the world roared and swallowed me
i’m gone.
its 5:48 A.M.
the marigold light finally peeks its eyes through the distant echoes and silences
but its no use
i guess monsters aren't the worst things after all.
