I let the monster inside me. Now it sits there, pulling at threads of thoughts & making himself bigger. At first I gave him my fears, hoping it would scare him away. Then I gave him my hatred, so he'd know the true me, how horrible I was, how much I hated even myself. He fed on it all. My regrets, broken hopes, saddest days, hollow emptiness.
When those we're all gone, I let him have the happy bits, sweet memories, & quiet hugs until I was all gone & he became me, & I became him.
