Why did he die when I lived?

Why do people call me by his name?

Why did he have to make me?

When he knew he would not live?

I call myself a monster

And people nod their head.

I am a monster

That much I know

But I was his monster

I am a monster for stealing his name

I am a monster

Because I stole his name

People remember me, not him.

Why don’t they remember him?

I am a monster

Because they remember me
