No monster came to me at night
No scary creature called my name
Yet whispers from my nightmare world
Still speak a child's shame
When darkness covered everything
Including who I came to fear
The boogieman with breath unclean
Seemed somehow very near
The gentle touch from fingers strong
Remain upon my adult skin
The scars he left may not be seen
But still they bleed within
So who I am I cannot like
As in the mirror him I see
The eyes that looked upon his child
Won't ever set me free
Thank you Pablo
