The monster

Awake all night,
Watching shadows run up the walls.
Your demons showing the face.
Distorted black shapes of fear.
Should close your eyes.
If only you could remember the angels.
The warm touch on your skin.
Forgot about the tender sigh of love.
It’s only pain you keep in mind.
Hectic creating a torture chamber.
Ready to lock yourself in.
Nurture the beast under your bed.
Nourish the devil behind the mirror.
Carry the monster under your skin.
