The Monster’s Inside

"It's raining blood," I say

Why don't you believe me?

I want to run from you, far away

Please don't leave me

I don't want to be here another day

Stop disregarding my feelings

Let's take a drive on the freeway

Anywhere else but here

"It's raining blood!" I scream

I'm telling the truth, I swear

Hazel eyes reflect crimson and gleam

Why aren't you running from them?

You tell me I'm being extreme

Can't you see the blood in the water?

"It's raining blood," I sob, continuing the argument

There's red writing on the wall

I convince myself it's a lapse in judgement

Up until the knife is in your hands

I try to believe it's just your ailment

Up until gray cement bleeds ruby
