• Amongst the forgotten,
    Tendrils of shadow
    Pour into my blackened mind.
    P O I S O N.
    Vague memories of
    A life with smiles,
    Of easy joy.

    Back to agony,
    Images lost on
    My broken lips.
    T H I R S T.
    Skin chapped and broken
    Arms locked inside
    White-cotton insanity.

    Bound by visions
    They touch my
    Crazily damaged smile.
    P A I N.
    Gentle touches, strokes
    Meant to bring comfort,
    Instead increasing agitation.

    Bite back the scream
    Wanting to break my chest.
    The voices are taunting.
    F E A R.
    Candy coated promises
    Followed by crimson tears
    Little treats down a dry throat.

    Insane sounding laughter,
    Foreign to my ears and yet
    So terribly, terribly familiar.
    T H R E A T S.
    They summon me,
    Them with their wiles.
    The sirens are calling!

    Legs plastered together,
    Laced by spasms and terror.
    Picture their glee!
    T O R T U R E.
    Self inflicted contusions,
    Little do they know
    Voices are not so still.

    Little cord of red,
    Dangling like a medal
    Before blood-shot eyes.
    D E A T H.
    An easy escape
    They told me I'd
    Be safe with them.
