Satisfied Monster

In excruciating pain I cry out
For your help... But how can you
Hear me, when you're
Thousands of miles away?
"No, of course.... It won't work.."
Softly cursing
At the "nobody" that stares..
Most would see that nothings there. But
Thats too their untrained eyes.
To mine, I see him..
He mocks my pain by standing in the corner
Laughing and watching in amazement..
I start to tear at the sheets on
This bed to
Save my soul, to stop the pain..
I give up.. I look up as tears
Begin to burn my eyes..
I think of you again.. Forgive me
For giving up this fight
With the Monster that
Haunts me.
Will you tell me you love me,
For one last time?
The intense pain is now gone,
But my strength has been lost.
The Monster in the corner stands,
Looking very satisfied, and gently speaks.
His words are now warm, sweet and inviting:
"Come child.. Your suffering for
Tonight has come to an end...
Now be a doll, and please..
Look into my eyes.."
