Monster
Her:
A stab through the heart that doesn’t kill you,
but leaves you to suffer alone.
Those teeth ripping your body to shreds as if it no longer belongs to you
Skin bruising under the abusing
of power that has taken place here
You trusted a monster,
and the monster has just eaten you alive.
Him:
Slice the razors of truth on your arms
cutting into those lies you told
well, truth bites back, and
it hurts.
Another red line, another lie,
another day has passed but you left her alone and she won’t come back.
another cut for the pain you caused.
Why‘d you do it?
For that brief moment of pleasure that you
dont even enjoy anymore
