Are you scared?
He's not home
He's out at the bar
No,he's there
You just can't see


The monster,he hides
Affraid of the light
Sun or moon
Only to let
your doomsday end

endlessly they begin
unwarranted
unnecessary
the beatings,Do they ever end?

Not in this life,My child
A voice said
A man whom released my doubt
a man

Live with this Nightmare
Don't fall asleep
Are you scared?
He's Watching You!
"When a man lies,He murders some part of the world
These are the pale deaths which men miscall their lives,All this I cannot bear to witness any longer,
Cannot the kingdom of salvation,Take me home!"

    Ahhh,... ugghh! I don't scare that easily, but this was quite an intriguing read for me,... i have found several interpretations relevant,...
    Are you speaking from the view of one watching a stalker STALK,... or perhaps memories of days long gone that resurface to invade you whenever the poison sinks in???? I liked it,... and to your last line-- I don't sleep unless I'm sedated!!! Even then ya know it's hard to keep me down!
    "To live,.... love,..... there's a song to be sung,....
    'cause we may not be the Young Ones,..."

    I like this one.Very real.Exactly who could the monster be?
    The one that hides under the bed,or the one destroying
    perpetual freedom?
    A whisper and a thrill
    A whisper and a chill

    I envisioned an alcoholic father who beats their child and the way they must feel, awaiting the next time, being controlled and trapped by the "monster"...intense...good read :)
    Our love must not be just words, but True Love, which shows itself in action,
    No one needs a smile more than someone who fails to give one,
    After you die...you know how to LIVE!

    I first met this monster when I was three years old....:(
    If I could be anything in the world I would be your teardrop...I would be born in your eyes, live on your cheeks, and die on your lips.
