The Monster Beneath

There was a time when I worshipped at his feet Not so long ago. There was a time when I cared and thought He cared. But it was all a lie, A terrible mistake. There was no love, Just a facade A mask he wore. Well, thank God, no more. He ripped off the false face And I saw the monster He concealed beneath. And now, when I look, If I look I cannot unsee The monster beneath.
