I lie in bed consumed by darkness,
caged within my tortured head.
Clawing at my burning eye's,
lulled by somber lullabies.
Contorting faces, sadistically twisting,
my sharpening pain intensely increasing.
My brain is racing my pacing thoughts,
agonizing screeching slowly begins.
My temples burn with bitter pain,
i twist and writhe and cover my ears.
A flashing light,
the voices begin,
tears begin to steadily flow.
I reach for help in this hellish void,
thoughts of death control my thoughts.
The voices scream,
"your worthless" they say.
"A failure," they sneer.
"Death," they tempt, "Is your only way out."
The beasts begin to rise above,
above the hope i hold so dear.
Serpants sadistcally hiss and slither,
snuffing the oxygen i need to live.
Reality's gone,
the world disappears,
trapped in dimensions i know are real.
My destiny's here,
strapped to an alter,
it's time to pay my final sin.
Eye's of death,
burning and seering,
a killers face, a flashing grin.
I stare at the knife,
accepting my fate,
as the blade is plunging through my chest.
Cracking bones, a spray of blood,
cavity punctured, a butchered heart.
Bleeding out my binding pain,
where death and darkness intertwine.
Symphonic melodies of pain and failure,
played in minor chords of shame.
My blood spurts out, my heart beat lessens,
i look up at his blood drenched face.
Shadows dance within his eye's,
reflecting pain and bitter demise.
My body spasms,
my muslces twitch,
convulsing to deaths somber beat.
i spit up blood as life gets dimmer,
i feel my eye's begin to close.
Head pulled back,
throat exposed,
i feel the cut, my jugular severed.
Forever silent i gasp and bleed,
fading off into the dark.
Demons dance upon my grave,
planting roses of poisoned black.
A price to pay,
the sacrifice made,
i had to die,
for happiness.
