I've watched you for months,
Preying on the innocent with your lies.
Polluting naive thoughts,
With your overly toxic mind.

"It's ok, honey, this is for your own good."

I want to scream out,
And show the world the truth.

"I do this out of caring, sweet thing."

It's what the monster does best.
They lurk in the shadows,
And never give the sweet any rest.

I want to pound your chest,
And claw out your invisible eyes,
But instead I can only watch,
Until all the tears dry.
