Inner Torment

Inner Torment


I sit and think as the pain corrodes my mind,
throbbing everlastingly.
The numbness of my feet frighten me now
as I cry out loud for help.
Shall there be one who can save me?
Sweep me far away?
Take me into fantasy
within the wings of love?
No angel from above I have seen appear,
only death and endless pain.
Torture from an unknown source
caused by no known reason.
Does anything ever work out “for the best?”
Can you tell me this for sure?
Shrouded in agony, baptized in darkness.
Is there any cure?
No known remedy has been offered me,
I cringe in pain and fear.
Look around at everything you see
illusions hide the hell.
The inferno of eternity, damned as I am now.
Nothing more I need to see
I know this is the hell.
Condemned by my pain, tortured in this rotting corpse.
Evermore, and then no more.
Stop this rack from breaking me,
this rack deep within my soul.
Drowned in sorrow, swirling downward
deep there evermore.
Reaching out, I can’t break free
The evil’s power much too great.
Cannot fight among the memories
ripping flesh and melting mind.
Release me from this dungeon,
set my soul free,
Death my only refuge now.
