That Horrible Monster: A Ballad
That horrible monster with the name I can’t pronounce
That ate him
Swallowed him whole
That horrible monster that took it’s time
No rush, no hurry
Slow and steady got the job done
That horrible monster that loves to bring pain
Pain, that not only him, but everyone else felt
But didn’t show it
That horrible monster that left a hole in people’s hearts
A void which can’t be filled
That never goes away
That horrible monster that took him
It didn’t leave a note, an apology letter
Just enough of an enigma to keep you wondering, but angry
That horrible monster that just keeps fighting
It never gets along with anyone
And it never will give up.
(Well, in the end it sort of ended up becoming a poem thing, like all of my writing turns out. But... It fits the requirements and it's pretty emotional to me so I guess that's all that matters.)
what a great ballad. I believe that it is written about someone that was very close to me and sadly never had the chance to meet you.....but would have loved to.
ReplyDeleteThank you. :) And yes I believe you are right.
ReplyDeleteYou are fabulous. Never doubt yourself, you can write like Robert Frost, Emily Dickinson...you're an amazing poet, so just keep writing!
ReplyDeleteThank you! And trust me, I will! :)
ReplyDeleteI've had a hard time time commenting on this,Vidra. It really says it all. As if you were there with us, sharing in our pain. Not only can you write, you have a keen sense of empathy. Some day, I would love to tell you all about him.
ReplyDeleteI would love that too.
