Familiar monster

Your presence still haunts my dreams
The voices I hear echo your screams
"You promised you'd protect me"
It didn't fall on deaf ears.
 
What happened to all the years I put you first.
Your thirst for attention
Was more than I had to give  
No matter how hard I tried
It didn't count because I wasn't a man.
 
So he's Your protecter now
He's venomous
When I told you he bit me
You said I lied.  
 
I told you about the nights he came to my room
But it feel on deaf ears  
Did my safety even really matter to you?
 
You fell In love with my monster.
