Just one girl's thoughts…
Monsters are real.
Some live inside your head, and some are sleeping in your bed.
Some will rip your being apart, and others will destroy your heart.
They leave destruction in their wake, believing souls are theirs to take.
But, don’t assume the monsters knew; for some of us are monsters too…

Your touch against my skin is velvet, your weight pressed against my body comforts me like a blanket.
The feel of you excites me like ones first self discovery.
I want to explore every inch of you and admire perfection.
In your eyes lay all of the oceans and sky.
But, they see me as a ghost; never fully believing.
Your lips drip with love and promises of the future, but they also spew venom my direction.
There is a violent intensity to your love.
If walls could talk, ours would scream for all the things they’ve seen.
And now, they would weep.

I search for you at the bottom of every bottle.
I drown in the liquor, lapping at the numbing power the sweet elixir holds.
I wake in strange places, with strange people who are not you.
My loneliness throws itself against the corners of my mind, all the while screaming your name.
Where have you gone?
I drive the moonlit streets alone now.
Your ghost rides ever-present in the seat beside me.
The music fills the empty air that once was filled by your kind voice.
The billowing white clouds that once poured from your mouth to dance across my nose have long since disappeared.
And here I am; without you…
