monsters get lost too

by paintedaroace

Summary:

a fic in verse about a mourning monster

Notes:

cw: mentions of blood
i do not own these characters and this world

a monster boy

holds a

body girl,

but it is

all wrong

 

he is crying,

she is blank.

he is cold,

she is warm

not for long,

her warmth

trickling away

from her.

just like the

blood

 

the monster boy

does not know

how long he

stays there,

how long he

remains crying,

how long he

can stand not

to let go,

 

but eventually,

he rises,

like a phoenix.

expect it is not ash

that he rises out of;

it is blood and tears,

all of it too human

 

he scoops

up the body girl,

her head rests

against his heart.

and he wonders

not for the first time,

how much a heart

can splinter and crack

before it finally

breaks and shatters

 

the monster boy’s

heart is beating too loud

he thinks,

and the girl’s heart

is not beating at all

beating too quietly

 

as the pair

make their way

through a

torn,

tortured,

city,

the silence is

deafening

 

the monster boy’s

world was always

too loud,

he had always heard

too much.

but now his world

is silent, quiet,

as if the moment

the girl’s heartbeat

had gone mute,

so has the world’s

 

he makes his way

to a building,

the closest thing

a monster person like him

can call home.

he still carries

the body girl,

but it is time

to let her rest

 

the world is

no longer mute,

but it is barely

making a sound.

he sees everything

around him,

but does not

see

all he can see

is the too-red girl;

her blood falling,

her soul rising
