Gods or monsters

I didn't believe in gods or monsters
When I came here
Solitary soles clicking on concrete
Echoing between tall buildings


I found the door
Brightly lit
Just as you said it would be


Marble floors gleaming
A sour smell beneath the perfume
You thought I wouldn't notice


I sat before you
Allowed the appraisal
Spoke the words you wanted
It wasn't enough
It's never enough


This battle of wills
The trick of water versus rock
One of us will crack
And I know it won't be me


I will walk out of here
There will be less of me
But I don't believe in gods or monsters
And I will leave as I came
Alone
