&ldquo;He&rsquo;s not perfect. You aren&rsquo;t either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can. He isn&rsquo;t going to quote poetry, he&rsquo;s not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don&rsquo;t hurt him, don&rsquo;t change him, and don&rsquo;t expect for more than he can give. Don&rsquo;t analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he&rsquo;s not there. Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don&rsquo;t exist, but there&rsquo;s always one guy that is perfect for you.&rdquo; <br /> ― Bob Marley

Monsters follow me
haunting me
taunting me
breathing heavily
against my neck
their breath is hot
and sticky
it makes me shiver
with fear
Monsters follow me
haunting me
taunting me
laughing as i tremble,
scream, and cry
their invisible
to everyone but me
and what i see
is terrifying
Monsters follow me
haunting me
taunting me
hungrily absorbing my sorrow
they grin with pleasure
as they get what they want
and now their master,
the devil, is near
Monsters follow me
haunting me
taunting me
the Devil, is elated to see
that who i am now,
after years of their torture
is only a fraction
of who i used to be
Monsters follow me
haunting me
taunting me
breathing heavily
against my neck
their breath is hot
and sticky
it makes me shiver
with fear
Monsters follow me
warning me
laughing at me
promising that my end
is no where near
