I am a monster

Though I am a being who dwells in the light
My body is but a hollow shell
And that is my plight

You can cut me up
But darkness just spills over
And I get right back up

I am a monster

I feel nothing
So I feed on anything
Everything

I feed on love
To color my insides with *red
To have that emotion about *passion
Playing with fire on your bed

I feed on sadness
With side dishes of pity and loneliness
To color my insides with shades of blue
Alone stuck in forever
Like glue

I feed on youth
With a touch of innocence
Like the feeling of pink
When a simple wink
Can turn into a strong link

I feed on betrayal
The core of revenge and heartache
Like the serene color of deep green
Tainted with muddy brown just like the lake
Rained down upon
By seemingly harmless drops
Then turns to a knife

I feed on happiness
Like a bright yellow sun
Mixed with with a fruity essence
Of orange
To have that smile as bright as the sun
And as sweet as an orange

I feed on regret and disgust
Violet and indigo
Like a feeling after
You have let lust
Take over

And i drink from the tears
Shed by feeling this emotions
Like a crystal clear diamond
A precious gem from such hardness
Then sparkles, shines bright. Even the brightest

But at the end of the day
I feed on anything, everything
And everything just turns into nothing
Swallowed by the darkness in me
A monster inside me

And that monster is **me
