Gone

“Monster”
That’s what I heard
“… Monster”
That’s what she whispered
And these words got stuck
On the back of my head
For weeks
I couldn’t understand
That made no sense
Damn, I couldn’t help her!
And now it’s too late
She’s gone, she left me and she tried to
Make me see
How could I left her like this?
How did I allow her to be taken away
without even making any efforts for her to stay?
Now I am here alone,
Buried and breathing in regret
I now understand her words
I now keep her last attempt, her scream for help
It keeps yelling at me
Reminding me how guilty I really am
For the words she said I was unable to understand
“Inside of me, there is this monster.
Help me.
Take away this monster.”
The monster is now gone
And so is she.
