Monster

Jacob Diehm

I thought I found love, but what I found was better off remaining a dream. You’re a succubus. Your spells kept me locked in imaginary shackles. You hid your true self behind a curtain of beauty. Your heart, black and surrounded by dark flowing clouds. Deception was the game you played. For so long, your hateful words drew me towards the sharp rocky shores, as if they were a siren’s song, never allowing me to set sail on the journey of life. You kept me down, drained my blood with your fangs. Finally, in the end, you ripped out my heart and devoured it like the wolf of the night. Now here I lay a scarred individual. I walk in the night for as not to be seen, never able to live again. Never able to love, or be loved. Forever a monster.
