The Monster
Looming in the midst,
Dancing in the shadows,
Watching from the mist,
Gazing from empty hollows
Yearning to speak,
It beckons a listen,
The words so sleek,
So polished they glisten
Letter by letter,
Constructing the message,
Better and better,
Sanity becoming a vestige
Black tongued witch,
Whispering your name,
Severing each stitch,
Bond severed from frame
Wilting inner resolve,
Souring foundation,
Weakening to dissolve,
Corrupting construction
Kill the monster,
Lurking beneath,
Kill the monster,
Cease its bequeath
Hear not the words,
Spoken from within,
Summon the swords,
Hungry to get in
The seed now planted,
Black roots twisting,
No solace granted,
Dark tendrils thrusting
Perform the rite,
Soul at stake,
Godlike might,
Strike to make
Curse obtained,
Fault not known,
Curse remained,
Reaped and sown
Slip into waters,
Heart beating hot,
Speak of slaughters,
Mind ready not
Kill the monster,
Chasing you,
Kill the monster,
That is you
