this creature, this thing

this creature, this thing
it lives in your heart
- in the shadowed part,
and it can't get out
unless you let it out.
You won't let it out.
It knows everything you
know, except how to act.
If you let it out,
it will prove that fact
and you'll only regret
every thing it's done.
And you won't know why
it's obsessed with someone,
and you won't know how
to explain or begin
to proceed from that place
it has locked you in
