i saw a monster in you

a something
that needed to be set loose
but you held onto it
cause you felt safe
somehow
with the monster
it was because
it was what you knew
the monster had brainwashed you
you came to the place where
the monster was your friend
you loved
you still love
what is slowing killing you
the thing that you hold so dear
is draining you
its a monster
yet you love it
why is this
