The Monster

This is a poem I wrote a few days ago....


She put down her keys and closed the door
She knew that she's been there before
All the hurt and all the pain
She watched it surface all over again

Like a monster lurking in the dark
Waiting for her aching heart
Sitting there with a wicked smile
He knows it'll only be a while

He's waiting there till the time is right
Until she's lost the will to fight
That's when the monster will attack
Pain knows no one can hold him back

The monster of pain knows he's strong
He knows that tears won't be that long
She knows it too, she's been around
So she lets go and hits the ground

A door inside her heart slams shut
Some broken dreams are just thrown out
Just another door that's slowly closed
Another room that got exposed

It seems a lifetime, still there she lies
On that cold, hard floor she cries
And as she lay there outside that door
She closed her eyes and cried some more
