My Monster

Everyday, she tells me she’s a monster
Everyday, I fall for her a little bit more
Everyday, I try to make her adore me
Everyday, I can’t help but be honest with her
I feel afraid, that she might refuse
not because she’s certain, but in doubt
I wish, I could share her helplessness
but I push her in a battle she must fend alone
We reveal the worst of ourselves to one another
We can’t help but see the best
And I pray for one more chance
To win her once more all over again
Mind you, this isn’t a story of star-crossed lovers
destined by time and stirred by passion
It’s a story of human effort
Because that’s what’s needed
to tame, my Monster :)
