    Default The Monster

    I just wrote this like 5 minutes ago..tell me what you think!

    Everything is vague
    A walking dreamland in my mind
    I am but a plague
    Screaming to be left behind

    Before the black covers my body
    And the crimson clouds my eyes
    Taking over everything
    That I hold dear inside

    It creeps up like a monster
    Breaking through its metal chains
    Digs its teeth into my chest
    Though there's no heart to gain

    I sold it to the underworld
    They paid a pretty price
    Now I am just a heartless girl
    A terror in the night

    The monster pulls out his teeth
    And the blood begins to pour
    But it is not my body
    That I hear hit the floor

    The monster starts to shake
    Frothy sputum fills his lungs
    His system couldn't take
    Drinking my poisoned blood

    So I am but a plague..
    Screaming to be left behind
    Everything is vague
    A walking dreamland in my mind..

    Well what I think is this is awesome! For one thing it's a whole novelette in 7 4-line verses, and this is the climax of the plot:

    ...
    But it is not my body
    That I hear hit the floor

    ...
    His system couldn't take
    Drinking my poisoned blood

    So I am but a plague..
    Screaming to be left behind


    And the imagery borders on spectacular, almost from line to line. I love this!
    There is no glamour in sudden death, and nobody ever wins a war.
