There's a monster in the dark,
he tries to take my breath away,
and steal the thing inside my heart.
There's a monster in the dark
He plays in the shadows
and writes my name on his soul.
He has many names, sometimes none at all.
There's a monster in the dark,
he deals out the pain and feeds on my tears,
as I wish on shooting stars,
but all my wishes fall on deaf ears,
they get granted to other souls.
So I sit here with the monster in the dark all alone.
There's a monster in the dark,
He wants to drag me from the light and pull my life apart.
There's a monster in the dark he wants to take my breath away and steal the things inside my heart.
Damn, man, do you know how that gives someone the chills? Shit!!! This is kind of a personal question ... and please don't answer if it hits too clos to home ... but do you have cancer or something, or know someone that does? Because I just cut my hair, and i'm going to give it to that place that takes hair ... I forgot the name. Anyway, I just thought I'd ask. I hope, if things aren't so great right now, that you're doing all right despite possible difficulties.
No I don't know anyone with cancer. I do have a few friends that have terminal illnesses. Then again Life is terminal at times. That is cool of you that you are going to donate your hair for a cancer patient. Might want to check out http://www.makeachildsmile.org/ if you like to do things like that. This place you can send cards and such to terminally ill kids. Give them sort of a friend ya know. It's a good place. Thanks for your reply.
My mom has cancer. It's ovarian cancer, but it's now traveled to her brain. She is not a very expressive person, so I don't always know what she's going through inside. When I read your piece, it made me cry. This must be what she's going through. This feeling of hopelessness and helplessness. It really made me aware of what we as non-terminally ill people sometimes take for granted. It really made me think. Thank you.
Maria, you have a way with words that is striking. I love this, as usual.
