my chest echoes
with the cries of my monster,
devoting anything that’s not you,
to a psychopath’s slaughter;
the monster in me
has a single-point view:
the only thing it wants
is the monster in you.

Firestone Friday: Poem XIV
When you fall in love
with a monster,
you either become
a monster
or a monster-slayer;
what you cannot do
is remain who you were —
the former version
of yourself
was sacrified
the moment you let
a monster into your heart.
