Monsters

The cold metal burns my hand
As I touch the doorknob again
I know what lays behind
The door that haunts my dreams

I can't help but think that
This time things will be different
That this time, I won't see
The monster behind the door

I can only imagine her
Once again baring claws
And showing off her fangs
Before devouring me

I can't stop myself from looking
Just one more time before
I lay down and rest knowing
There is a monster in my life
