The monster under my heart
by vennyvader
I found myself and lost you.
I let go of your hurt, found my strength anew. Picking my pieces up off the floor, realizing you mean nothing anymore. You were an addiction, a haunting, an affliction. A monster terrorizing me, and my pride that had given up helping me, depriving me and calling it love. And there are sometimes I'm completely ashamed, my strength in vain. Because I'll look for you...the monster under my bed that hasn't yet truly left my head.
