FACELESS MONSTERS

 A Monster without a Face

A shadow without a body,

He has no voice and no name.

He eats whatever comes in his way,

Having no choice, He eats, but he has no taste.

He fills and fills, but he is empty from inside.

If I had to tell you how he looks like,

I can’t because he has No Face.

He has no friends, but he understands what loneliness is.

He tries to speak as best as he can,

With people who are sad.

Hoping that somehow they will understand .

But his hunger keeps growing more and more,

He just wants to fill his stomach and have a voice beyond his own.

So he craves for souls and eats them,

They call him a monster, monster and nothing more.

He attracts souls by offering gold he has,

But some of them refuse,

And he understands that some souls cannot be bought like the rest.

Neither for greed nor for anything.

So he tries to love them,

But they always seems to love someone else.

He is not the best, not so perfect,

After all, he is a monster with no face,

He is different, Not like the rest.

His anger rises up if he finds nothing to eat,

He screams and shout,

And hunts for the souls,

Doesn’t matter bitter or sweet.

He just wants to eat and eat.

His body keeps growing every time he eats,

He is lonely, sad and all alone.

He floats at night like the other ghosts,

Neither he rests nor does he sleeps.

He is huge, but deep down he feels so thin,

He is stronger than the mountain, 

but he is weak from within.

But he feels tired and old,

He has forgotten how to live,

He has no heart so he keeps giving the gold.

The one he loved left him all alone,

They asked for more and he had nothing to give except for gold.

He is slowly torn apart,

By the people he loved, they left him with no heart.

Now he floats in dark places,

Along with the other ghosts.

He spends most of his time in hollow spaces,

He doesn’t remember when was the last time he felt something.

He follows the poor sad souls,

Holding no love, but all his glittering gold.

But they move forward, he remains behind

Sad and Alone.

They turn away and leave him shattered and torn.

He searches for himself for what he could not find,

Wondering why they just leave without a goodbye.
