Monster

Monster
Don't lie
I can taste it
like a vampire tastes bad blood
There's no way to
hide
No forever
that can embitter
my tongue like you
You sweat
peppermint schnapps and crown royal
I can touch you
nauseous noxious
for fear of second hand intoxication
Your mouth moves
but not as much as your throat
gulping down my tears
like the monster under my bed
but he grew up too.

Steem ON!

A beautiful somewhat creepy story filled with symbolism and play-on-words. I like creepy things so I found it whimsically entertaining. Thank you @sunravelme. I am still a fan.
