Love Song for a Monster

written by Liz

Strum the strings with your bow,
And seduce me with your song
Of lovers lost and
Midnight liaisons with ghostly apparitions,
Whose many laments you did hear;
I love you,
And your eternal plague,
Though to say it does not scare me
Would be a blatant lie.

But as I have learned to overcome death,
So too will I learn to overcome
My fear of you,
And your demons.

For I love you,
And I have always done so;
My love would not be true
Were I to cast you aside
For the faults in you
That you cannot help; but nurture
Still your heart of
Glossy gold
I always will.
