if you’ve ever played kingdom hearts I or II, you will understand most of it. hopefully.

---

pen to paper, monsters came alive.
chimaeras created from disfigured drawings,
morbid words for larynxes, screaming fear.

it’s just your imagination.

a snarl, blood ripping out, flung
spatter diagonally crimson across the wall.
the word ‘murderer’ glaring as yellow-toxic eyes
glow-in-the-dark words out to rip the heart from your chest
with clawed hands and leering faces.

you were never safe.
