The Monster's Lament
Forgive me dear Father though you sleep
 
 The never ending sleep of death,
 
 Never to awaken as I did.
 
 My destruction of you is now complete
 
 And so I drown in misery
 
 My sins too great for this once pure heart to bear
 
 Haunting are my memories
 
 I pity you, abhor myself
 
 We thought my soul dead
 
 Both you and I
 
 I murdered one of your joys without guilt
 
 But in time my guilt increased a thousandfold
 
 For lack of love, became I stone
 
 A creature of muted feeling
 
 And yet my pains and joys and angers were exquisite
 
 My obsessions with thee
 
 And yours with me
 
 Hath fully consumed our lives
 
 Your joys were slain
 
 Mine never achieved beginning
 
 You showed hope when I had none
 
 I vowed to strip it from you,
 
 Make you miserable as me
 
 Unable to find love from familiar faces
 
 Now I secrete myself unsympathised in the icy wastes
 
 In the harshest of wild places
 
 Where the most adventurous of human eyes
 
 Shall never see my ugliness
 
 To die in the deepest sorrow
 
 To give myself an ugly fare,
 
 As fodder for the flames
 
 Thus passes an angel
 
 Deformed to a devil
 
 I shall weep in the ashes of my own destruction
 
 Triumphant in the second bodily death
 
 I would that this agony could have passed sooner
 
 I would that your life and happiness could be restored
 
 But there is joy in death
 
 Peace and love for an unloved soul
 
 From a true God
 
 To be a true Adam
 
 And you, again with your friends and family
 
 The victims of my hands.
 
 Father, I shall soon join you in the netherworld
 
 Perhaps you may love me then.
