The Creature
This world runs away from anything but fear itself. You can't leave fear
behind. No matter how much you want to. I fear myself. Everyday I wake up
to find myself in a new position that I can't get out of. I must face new
obstacles in my journey. I must find new ways to surface my anger if I want
to get by in this life. New ways to learn to cope with fear of meeting my
match. Some day I will meet my match. I think I already have. The eyes of
blue shoot through my entire body and I become paralyzed. The hands of this
marvelous being engulf me until I am no longer seen. I lose site of the
world around me when it is near. I smell the sweet scent of this creature.
It's smells like the ocean or running water. The hair of this being is so
soft; I can run my fingers through it for days and nights alone. It's arms
rap around me perfectly and we sink into each other. Then I remember its
love. And I disappear into oblivion. Maybe it will miss me. Maybe it will
cry. But I know why it does these things to me. It's because it is lonely
and I need someone to love me. That's why we continue this until we are to
worn out to look at each other any longer. Then I walk away and leave that
creature. That man. The one I once loved.
