Tumor

"...the hidden tumor of an unspeakable passion. " - Vladimir Nobokov

The monster shakes
With need to feed a
Unspeakable passion obscured with secrecy
A vice that is willingly submitted to constantly
The lines defining him as a person
Blurred until they aren't seen anymore

This is when he choose to be a monster
Acquiring thread made of perversion and lies
Forming a charming human facade
Stitching in the lies and trickery
Securing it to rotting revolting skin
Bloated with toxic gas

Obscuring the difference between Mr. Hyde and Doctor Jekyll
Finding pleasure in a secret rotten passion
Preying on the Naivety and innocents
Demanding an indulgence in what could take his freedom

It is a tumor that has grown and grown
Fed through vices and secrecy
Trembling with sick pleasure
Enjoying the destruction of a mind so young and vulnerable

Savoring an unspeakable passion
Blind to the lines between wrong and right
Sewing on different masks with perversion and manipulation
Just to be able to charm individuals
Hunting for more sustenance

Obscuring the lines between Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
Trembling with poisoned disturbed passion for a
Freedom taken for granted
Growing the tumor
