They'll never want me. Well, at least I thought that. I was so ugly. I am ugly. I can't take it. I wanted to die. Wanted. But now I have her. But she doesn't know me. She may have held me. She may thinks she knows me. I may think she knows me. But she doesn't. She doesn't see who I really am, deep, deep inside. A monstrosity. A twisted, crooked, burnt, blackened, hairless, cold monster. A beast. She doesn't know what happened all those years ago. On that cold rainy night. I know, every night, she cries about her mother. And it's my fault. Cause it is. I had gone in that house, the home, and stolen some money cause my mommy told me so. And her momma was there. She saw me. I looked down at the gun Mommy had given me, just in case. BLAM. I ran, scared, crying. Weeping. I watched what I had become. My heart shriveled, became the beast that is twisted, disgusting, non huggable. I brought the gun. I saw her, that night. She saw her Momma die. By me. Thank goddess I was disguised then, or I wouldn't be here now. But then, so many years later, she found the gun in my possession. She looked at me, finally saw the monster, the beast, that I really was. And she ran. Like she ought to. And now I'm alone, alone to lurk in the deepest depths of me. Alone. Alone with the monster.
