Analysis of The Monster
The past created the monster.
Memories of lost loved ones still fresh
In the monsters mind.
Sadness hung in the air.
A heart shattered, thought never to be mended.
Eyes of crystal blue,
Sealed parts of the broken.
But the angel sent to calm the beast,
Filled in the missing pieces.
Joy, are the only tears now cried.
The beast disappeared into the night
As silently as it appeared.
