the monster

cobbled together
from pieces
of all her former lovers
she worked
like frankenstein
in her laboratory
trying desperately
to make him into the one
she truly wanted

bolts on his neck
jagged scars
on every joint
every word
a moan of anguish
as he lost what made him him

he was the creature
but she
she was the creator
acting surprised
when he tried to be playful
tossed her girlish aspirations
into the river
to drown
