Her Darker Side

-Her Darker Side-
by
Keaton Foster



Once
I knew a girl
I called her world
Now she has another name
Stranger full of anger
Creature with a crooked finger
Pointing it in my direction
Judgment for the judgmental
Accusations based on fact
She never stood a chance
And neither did I
For a time
I used to see her every day
Under the same sun
Such a radiant brightness
And unparalleled requietness
She would give
And I would take
She would love
And I would pretend
She would care
And I would not
Her darker side
Was a hidden treasure trove
Of capable madness
And incomprehensible sadness
Just waiting to be exposed
I should have known better
I should have allowed her to escape
But in a wilderness of victims
She was absolutely perfect
Such perfection begs to be destroyed
I could not allow her to be
The opposite of everything I breed
I had to take her to the depths
Her darker side
Had to be exposed
I had to let all others know
Such a creature is an illusion
A fortress built upon a failing foundation
One heavy hit in the right spot
One well-placed charge of excess
Would bring it all down
From a masterpiece of what is
To a pile of what once was
For me such a thing
As destroying her everything
Came easy enough…
