Elucidating Questions

You’re the monster under my bed

Haunting my head

The reminder that I’m past best and tipped into never never never

That the last interest was the only interest and it wasn’t right

There’s nothing tonight

Alone

Only only

And the monster

Reminds me I’m all alone

Reminds me I won’t find anyone

Reminds me anyone before me will be more dear

I’m past the point of finding someone who wouldn’t look at me and wish I was the ex

Or someone else

Or no one

The reminder so sharp and cold

Why I’m sitting here tonight alone

Why it won’t stop

Why the fault is my own
