MONSTERS IN THE CLOSET

Late nights...

my deadly deception.

Luring me into the darkness

I've escaped before,

but am tempted to embrace again.

Thoughts like a cacophony of train whistles

leave me endlessly jarred

and lonely in their wake.

I've lost my innocence

to so many things,

all taking parts of me to a separate grave.

Now I just search for peace by piece

and I long to be whole.
