Monster

I looked up at him
and into his empty eyes.
The hollow shell that held no soul.
Red rimmed eyes held in place with deep dark rings.
Heart gone with all the lies.
Blinded like a sightless mole
to the truth of it all.

The things revered
had stolen his heart.
No longer human, not answering any call.
In this world he played his part
Yet when death came...

He couldn't leave
He said he had done too much wrong.
Too late to be turned
too full of grief
too long had gone.
