As I hang here in the chains,
I try to remember my life before the agony,
before the burning
before the torture
before the Eternal Agony....
Ah, hold on a sec, need to adjust,
the burning of the chains is something
that always reminds me of the agony that is my life
You see, I'm a werewolf, and silver is deadly to our kind
If you have read any good fantasy books, they are true...
The silver chains burn against my skin
preventing true regeneration (yes, that's true as well)
So I hang here in this dark cell in agony...
Back to my story... (if I actually have one)
I was captured and imprisoned, where I do not know
Even though werewolves are very hardy and strong,
this capture had been planned, well in advance...
Every day, the torture continues...
I think because the torturer feeds off of it...
Needs it in some perverse way...
And when the pain is too much, I can't succumb to the darkness
They drugged me to feel everything that they do...
Some of it I would have never imagined in my 200 years of life...
And I can imagine and envision quite a bit...
All types of devices,
Swords, knives, serrated devices...
And then when they are done, they eat...
Not on normal food, no, on me...
or what was taken from me when I was tortured...
The pieces of skin that are stripped from my flesh
Those strips are their feast...
Cannibals all of them,
see I wasn't speaking metaphorically
They actually feed off of my essence...
I am so weak...
I don't know what is my name...
Or who I was...
Insanity has gripped me...
And it's hold is strong...
No anger, no sorrow...
Just endless agony...

I thought this would be dark enough... Hope you enjoy, or throw-up... I'm sure that I will, since I don't fully believe I wrote this... (must be a muse at work)

This was very good but I do have to agree with Demonchild that this was more of a story. Good thing I like stories! Excellent job here but there a few bits where the confidence of the story breaks. Make sure when you're writing that you keep in the moment with your piece - don't remind us it's just a story - that breaks us out of the spell of your story. Good write all the same!

I enjoyed this read very much ... although it seemed more like a story rather then a dream ... it was still very good ... you are very talented ... and I would love to see this piece extend itself ... I know there is more to this then what meets the eye ... and I would enjoy reading a full story like this ... good luck in the contest
much luv
smile, it confuses people

This is actualy pretty good, its more like a story though, there was only one part that I had a little trouble with:
I am so weak...
I don't know what is my name...
Or who I was...
Other than that. excellent piece!
OTHER: Sorry, I meant he knew he was a warewolf and all about the silver and what it does.

It is dark honey but more of a story than a poem so I read it that way, it was much better that way too.
