Monster
My mom was cooking dinner,
And I’m sure I can’t remember what it was,
I’m sure it wasn’t memorable.
Dad in the garage building something?
I’m sure I cant remember what it was,
I’m sure it wasn’t memorable.
I’m sure I cant remember where my brother and sister were.
I was young, so young.
Maybe four or five.
My dad gave me a magnifying glass,
I think it was my dad?
Someone showed me how to kill,
I’m sure I can’t remember who.
It seems innocent,
but I enjoyed it.
They’re bodies sizzled from the heat.
They’re comrades would try to drag them off,
I killed them too.
Murder.
They didn’t realize they should run.
They didn’t know a monster was manipulating the sun.
That enjoyment.
I gained nothing from it.
I enjoyed taking life,
I’m sure I can’t remember why.
