I AM a monster.
The boy dropped
At my feet
My first thought -
"Could have been me
Who got popped"
I am a monster,
Left him there
At the foot of the stair
Out the side door
To the car before
Cops blocked the drive
I am a monster
Never asked why
Or did he survive
Kept it all in
And smiled at dinner
"More mashed, dear?"
I am the monster
Who lived life in lies
Thinks of his own
Perfect, lovely son
Hides away and cries
It could have been him
