monster
As she whispered
all I heard was the agony
in her voice.
a strange calm
in a strange place
devoid of all happiness
she smiled.
A catastrophe of grins and smiles
eroded at my very being
and in the deepest, coldest places
she gave the warmest hugs.
alas.
for what I thought was ages
tuned to pierce my head
over
and over again.
The oddest of melodies.
alas.
A monster
like me.
About this poem
I seem to forget the words every time I say them. So I'll write them instead. A poem about thinking too much, love just seems to never stop by.
