My Monster

January 10, 2019

I surrender to the darkness

Red lights flashing

With caution and boldness

Yet warm and inviting

In this shadow it is timeless

Love and despair combining

A secret formula for us

Hold still when you come lurking

The monster of my dreams I harness

In a flash you are threatening

Yet when I touch you you hesitate

Your voice is soothing

Yet your words spell hate

Dare I be challenging

A siren of fate
