Save me

Though this body isn't enough

This life isn't enough

My life has grown without meaning

As I fall into a dark abyss of dreams

That may only be found in the deepest horrors of the mind

I see a beast before my eyes

His or whatever It may be stares blankly at me

Its eyes are intense and beady

The fur is in rough patches on his pussy putrefied skin

Its mouth is twisted with sharp crooked rotten teethe

Its claws are long, pitch black like the night sky with no moon, and cracked

"Beast... hideous beast why do you haunt me," I cry out!

It does not reply instead it slowly makes its way to me

I take a few steps back

In attempt to keep my distance from it

Blood spills out of its mouth down it misshapen body

"Beast do not come closure or else," I scream at it!

But it does not stop

Oh no...

It keeps coming towards me slowly limping on one leg

As the other one shows bone decaying off its limb

And suddenly it runs towards me

Without hesitation its tries to pierce my heart

I move to quickly though and it pierces my arm

Removing the very limb from my body

My arm throbs in pain

I gushes blood all over the black water on which we stand

"SOMEBODY ANYBODY HELP ME," I plead to the sky.

With all my energy I stand facing the beast

And once again it lunges at me

This time taking a leg

It grunts and black and green puss fall from its nose

I start to cry tears like oil fall from my face into the water

"Beast," I say and collapse to the floor not able to withstand the pain anymore

"Why... Why do you do this to me," I ask silently

It still does not answer

And this angers me

I lung at it with the remainder of strength I have

And suddenly my life flashes before me

All of my loved ones, all of the good things I've done

And last of all, all of the sin I have committed

Over everything else this triumphs

And I see the beast

We look into each other’s eyes

The beast turns into me

Its eyes are sadder than mine

And I vanish into nothing

Vanish into the nothingness that I've created
