I thought the hole

Inside of me

Was something else

Unrequited love

Unreciprocated giving

Unappreciated struggle

To be everything

Feeling like nothing

I was wrong

 

The hole is hatred

Shaken by thunder

Avalanches triggered

By each shortcoming

My own

Ground crumbling

 

Falling so fast so far

So fake

I feel

Darkness swallowing me like poison

I am the poison

The world’s

My own

 

She found

Her way beneath my skin

Parasitic

Turning my body into a battlefield

She is me and I am

Her

Monster
