Frankenstein Monster

A world given to normalcy
at my passing watches warily
my eyes as dry as desert sand
they think i do not understand
the emotions that they come to feel
a weight that causes me to kneel
an inner light that goes unknown
behind a mask of flesh and bone
science gone wrong, abomination
the darker side of man's creation
to wander forth and ever be
iconic of man's duplicity
a nomadic trek of haunted steps
a wait to see God's promise kept
that though unnatural the birth
he least in me might find some worth
my days to me fragmented dreams
a patchwork heart with nightmare seams
love from none to spare upon
this life-given automaton

Note

Don't really know what i was thinking
'til i stopped and sat there blinking at the day
never saw the light that was shining down
dancing on my face and this half-formed frown
as my thoughts turned and drifted far away
fingers clenching at distant notions
my face clouded with mixed emotions
feet absently finding grip on hard-packed dirt
the breeze cutting like blades right through my shirt
as i rose and thought of nothing else to say
how can i reply, look in your eyes
when nothing that i know will make you stay?...
lips frozen like the winter air
eyes burning begin to blur
an expression that we never hope to wear
a note left behind without a single word
and dropped suddenly, a lead weight in my hand
a list of reasons that you could understand
