Ugh... here it is...
The hideousness shall commence... NOW!
The Monster
has eaten its way
from outside to in
yet another time.
Picking apart my brain,
denying it the sanity
it craves,
it needs so badly.
Inspecting it piece by piece,
scrutinizing every pink bit,
and taking only the tastiest
morsels.
It salivates at the thought
of what it's been working toward,
and downright drools
when it's found what it wants.
The sweet spot,
The weak spot,
The jackpot...
That Monster's only goal
is to break me down
one section,
one chunk,
one bite at a time.
It seems insatiable,
always coming back for more:
Seconds,
Thirds,
Fourths,
and Fifths.
If it ever gets full
there won't be much left;
maybe an empty shell
if I could be so lucky.
But it saves just enough
each time
for the revival
of what was taken
from me.
It saves just enough
for hope to linger,
for sanity to return.
Oh, that cunning Monster
leaves just enough
to make me believe
it's over,
and I'll finally
be okay.
Until the next time, you bastard...
Until the next time...
