The sky turned tenebrous
Clouds dismal and gray
Nothing could prepare me for
The stygian nightmare on the way
I closed my eyes and saw
Lightning dart 'cross my mind
And deafening claps of thunder
As blows struck me blind
The torrential rains came flooding
Soon realized just why
The scalding hot torment
Slowly crawling up my thigh
Eyes clamped tight, I cringed
Fearing things to come
One more blow to the head
My whole body had gone numb
Kayoed I thought I was
But scenes ran through my head
Was it real or just a dream
That soon I would be dead
I felt the cord get tighter
The air I couldn't breathe
Quickly felt the fading
This place I wished to leave
Another flash of lightning
As the blade struck hard on flesh
And molten feeling torture
Was now upon my chest
The blood ran to the ground
Left cut, bruised, and broken
Prayed for dark, my soul to take
For Satan's hands I was hoping
The storm around me brewed
With fatal fear I had cried
As quickly as it started
Now left alone to die

Holy cow! That is so deep and hellish. I feel so bad, and even more, helpless. I wish there was something I could offer other than my heart and a friend if you need it.

Aww Storm.
I know a cyber can never erase the nightmares of what you have gone through, but I am here for you when ever you wish to talk, dear Lady. Just let me know.

Thanks for the comment. And yeah, I hardly ever use punctuation in poems. Bad habit I suppose. Appreciate your time in reading.
Storm -
was the lack of punctuation intentional? i don't think it'd necessarily retract from the poem. maybe see how it looks and if you dislike it, revert to a nongrammatical form.
a thought. -
you play a guitar in my brain,
the images you send me send me insane.
