Flat Eyes and a Dark Heart
What is this monster capable of?
Do I even care to know?
The evil that is held in the
Flatness of the monsters eyes
Keeping him feeling in control
Of his destruction
Empty emotion incapable of
Compassion and love
Dirty with perversion
Whispering to my own demons
Scratching at the walls of this dark heart
Telling me I'm unworthy
Seeming to comprehend the evil in people
Before comprehending the angel in them
Fueling my dark heart with
Malicious thoughts compelling
Antipathy towards yours truly
My dark heart feels out of control
When your demons seduce mine
While you, My monster, builds a fire
Hearing you pray I'll fall into the flames
As you say you love and care for me
Maybe if I was ash I'd be
worthwhile to my monster
But doubt clouds my mind
This monster is only capable of
Perceiving me as property
Tattooing ownership in my skin
Part bullshit
Part narcissistic
Maybe a tiny sliver of honesty
Consumed with sociopathic desire
Dreaming of being God over my life
What is this monster capable of?
Do I even care to know?
These feelings in my dark heart
Disagreement and rebellion
Clinging to it every night and day
Just to keep a motivation of sorts to survive
A cluster-fuck of feelings that continue to shock
What is this monster capable of?
Do I even care to know?
Do I even care to know?
The evil that is held in the
