Monster

Seen as darkness
Broken, vile
Bad inside, and wrong
Why this mark, this scar?
Step away! Why?
Oh why did I look?
Oh, Christine!
My love has let me go,
I peer beyond,
Un-allowed to see
I saw the key, withheld
and held against me
I have answers to questions
Unasked, and to riddles
Unspoken, having seen
through the ring of ice
Inside the beast, the way
to unwanted peace.
