The Other E

Look me in the eyes,
I dare you.
Peel off my disguise --
Beware! You
May find what you never wanted,
May find out my soul is haunted.

You have demons;
So do I.
Your addictions
Are not mine.

Are you ready for:
A warning?
I am not your
Sunday morning.
I can't resonate your cries --
Don't know any lullabies.
