Monsters Under Our Beds While We Slept

List of The Monsters Under Our Bed while we slept

I. Pride

It always came before everything else.

2. Hypocrisy

You told me to grow up. But somehow, you were always the baby with the bottle. You drank as if its contents were an infants milk: the only thing giving strength to your bones.

3. Judgment

You told me I brought it in. I did it to keep all the other monsters out.

4. Insecurity

When we said we thought highly of each other, I never thought the goal would be to knock each other down. When I asked your name, you told me to call you “baby” because you said I would like it much better.

5. Dishonesty

Your words, actions and entire existence cannot be proven. When you left, I had no way to be sure you were ever there.

6. Impatience

I told you I would wait for you. You said you didn’t want me to. Now, I realize you didn’t want to do any waiting for me.

7. Pride

Subordination to each other was never a discussion and domination was something we thought we both needed.

8. Pride

I had to apologize for messes I never made.

9. Pride

When I said we could fix it the only thing you thought was worth keeping was Pride.

10. Pride

It always came before everything else.

11.Pride

It always came before everything else

12.Pride

It always came before everything else

13. Pride

The most dangerous monsters are the ones that we have grown to believe are not.

We were stupid enough to think that as long as we were wrapped under those sheets together, the monsters would never come out and find us, but they tore us apart bit by bit. Now, we have scars on our faces.

We can barely look at each other without recoiling at the carnage.

Someone else holds you at night. I know it. I wonder if he is a better warrior than I was.

I wonder if he fights off those demons I overlooked.
