"Frankenstein" - Elsa Russo

 

 

I have become Frankenstein

There’s a hole in my head where the sun won’t shine

Where all the dark thoughts creep in and define

Combine refine entwine and redefine me

Until I’m as dark as I can be

And you can’t even see

That we will be the cause of my explosion

As I follow my dark compulsion

Through the haze of my expulsion

From the arms of my dear friends

Whose unending patience is at an end

Towards sicker things I do bend

And intend to swallow those pills down with a shot

Because this bottle is all that I’ve got

I could fool myself that it’s true but it’s not

But hot blood is pumping through my veins

Roaring like a hundred railroad trains

And the pounding my head it pains

And drains what little sanity I had left

As from reality I am bereft

And from my reason I am cleft

And I’m deft in the art of putting on faces

And filling in those missing spaces

Where I’m supposed to be in places

Left empty because I have become Frankenstein

There’s a hole in my head where the sun won’t shine

Where all dark thoughts creep in and define

Me
