Love him?
No, I didn’t love him.
Sure,
I thought I did for a while there,
But I was wrong.
That wasn’t love.
Looking back now, years later, I see my mistake
How could I love someone like him?
He was a monster.
Not the kind of monster you imagined as a kid, hiding under your bed.
Not the kind of monster you hear about in fairy tales and ghost stories.
He was a different kind of monster,
One which the world has known of for quite some time.
He was a monster.
He was human.
