you created a monster
who lives inside my bitterness
dwells in caves of hate
you consumed my innocence
filled my head with vampire fangs
this was the world we created
you changed me into a demon
and I needed to be caged
because my impulses changed
when you became a drug
that polluted my healthy veins
with the poisons you fed me
I needed an escape
to shed this monstrous shell
and conquer this raging war
that has caused a divide
between the two of us
a monster decoy, a beast
now runs through my arteries
can we change this war that rages on?
can we destroy this ugly monster world?
This poem was based on a contest and the prompt was a song called  Monster by Starset. What a unique song!
