Monster

The green monster is
consuming me.
It swallows my brain
making every thought a struggle,
my eyes only see those other girls
and I tell myself you must be cheating.
My mouth only speaks words of
accusatory malice; I call you unfaithful.
Moving to my heart, I feel knives stabbing
and slicing. My lungs constrict, shutting
off all breathing.
My feet take me to the inner
depths of evil where shackles constrain
my hands and feet, tape covers my
mouth so I can't scream.
Fire burns all around me searing
my skin and my eyes water; lungs burn.
There is no way out.
