The Monsters Under Her Bed
Made a Home Inside Her Head
As the day dreamer slept
Nightmares were awoken
Inside monsters crept
Upon all that was unspoken
They snaked through
Making sure not to disturb
As they injected venom into
Every single word
Burning their feelings
Into her skin
To send her reeling
Over and over again
They twisted a knot
Deep down inside
She would never undo it
No matter what she tried
How the creatures lurked
Faceless shadows they were
Still grinning as they worked
To incapacitate her
They surged through her veins
Seeping all the way in
Pumping in endless pain
So she could never win
Just as quietly as they invaded
Silently they departed
She awoke as the day did
Already broken-hearted
