This Horror

Okay, so this is my first ever contest, I thought i would try it out, so here goes. This is for a poem i wrote called This Horror. I have just recently pasted it, but that doesnt matter. I will put the poem on here, and i want you all to write the opposite version of it.

I want you to write about what the person is seeing, describe it, i want imagary. Details! it doesnt matter how much, i at least want a little bit though.

Rules:
No erotica
No Sticky Caps please (No WrItInG LiKe ThIs PlEaSe!)
i dont care if you write dirty pretty.
I want a minimum of 10 lines please
i dont care if your poem is freeverse or rhyming, i like it all.
and last of all i want a very minumum of swearing, preferably none though. It wont change my opinion of your poem is you do though.

Poem AKA your prompt

I look on in horror,
unable to comprehend what I see.
My cries are choked back,
not a sound escapes.
My throat is twisted,
I cannot breath.
a hand of ice grips my heart,
squeezing it so tight my blood turns cold.
Tears fall from my darkened eyes,
my ears echo from the screams coming forth,
It’s overpowering.
I desperately try to get free,
but I am unable to move,
my body is firmly planted in place.
I want to look away, to close my eyes
but my face is frozen in revulsion.
This torture seems never ending,
but finally a last scream,
a splatter of blood written across my face
and I am able to move.
I fall to the ground,
my vomit spread across the hard stone floor.
My knuckles are white,
my chest is heaving as I look up,
all eyes are in my direction,
my end is rapidly coming near.
I close my eyes.

so one more time, what is he/she wittnessing. Let me know!

********* NOTICE***********
