Monster

Why am I like this?

So full of worry and despair,

I'm hurting those I love the most

Am I the real monster?

He tells me not to worry,

We'll make it through just fine

How much has he told me?

What has he left behind?

I want to believe his soothing words,

But there's so much left unsaid

He hums a tune,

My lullaby

As he carries me to bed

I know he wants what's best for me,

But I've made up my mind

I'm taking immortality

And leaving my world behind
