This is totally different from my first version, but the same concept except its just less obvious. Feel free to re-read my first version and tell me if you like the first one or this one better. But I like this one better soo... here is version two:
Cradle the Monster
Melissa Morrison
Revelation
Realization
Comprehension
Understanding
Coming into light.
All words I can use for that one moment,
that one second
that one instant
where everything became clear.
It was like a flashback from a movie
revealing memory after memory of my life.
I saw the gas spilling out of a tipped jug
not caring what it selfishly destroyed and
I smelled the stagnant aroma of pickled brine.
There was the Crack of a brittle twig, in a silent woods.
Here is the evidence used to prove against you
How can you deny it?
I beg you.
not to cradle the monster in your hand
to welcome it more.
But I can’t sway you.
So I turn away,
Knowing that my life isn’t the same.
There you hold the bottle in your hand.
and incased my chest, I hold a limp heart,
wrinkled and leathery, defeated.
