Monster
I see the way you look at me, I see the way you stare
Trying to figure out who I am just with what I wear
Too afraid to ask my name, just enough to hear
You breathing under my sheets at night
Just enough to care
Does it look like I care? Do I even look concerned? What you think
What you think about me.
I was just a kid when you did the deed.
That horrible creed
Alone in pain
All that you cared about was your own pleasure
Never the well being of others
Scared to speak up because of you
Scared of what you might do to my sister.
And I will never know what you did
What you did to her
She will never speak of that day
The day we went away
The way that we left
Left mom with you
Left her with a monster who isn’t our real
Dad.
I will never call you that, never in a million years
You were the boogeyman
Who hurt me inside and out
The monster under my bed when I say goodnight
Thirteen years ago I was a little girl
Who lost her innocence to the cruel world
A little girl with a little sister who she cared for
Never in her life would she find herself
Victim to the hands of a monster
A monster hiding in plain day
I will never forget the way
You looked at me that day
The first day we met
The day I met the person who would ruin my world
