Carrying the beast with me
Like it was my brother
Try to treat it patiently
As if it were a lover
Can't be bothered to let go
It will never leave
Still at least it's good to know
A heart can live and grieve
Once I saw its ugly head
I tried to run and hide
Then I turned around instead
And looked it in the eye
And I didn't die!
Yes I'm still alive
