One's Last Plea

"Let me look at you."
    White hands reach out, 
    Touch your face, 
    Cold as ice and thin.
"Let me read your fears."
    Those eyes shine gold, 
    In the dark, 
    You cannot see a face.
"Let me twist your mind."
    Those fingers turn to snakes,
    Bite through your skin,
    And melt into your brain.
"Let me show you pain."

That is when you hear it,
Coming from every side.
Agonizing screaming,
And a never ending "Why!?"
Someone else's breathing,
Is getting very short.
You can't place it,
And then your blood runs cold.
You see a twisted smile,
Lighting up the dark.
That deadly voice pulls you deeper.
It closes the door behind,
And it fully locks you inside.

      You can't breathe, 
      And your body falls limp.
      The screams are even louder than before,
      And you try to fight it back.
      You close your eyes and wait,
      As it all fades to black.
      Soft pressure on your neck,
      Wakes you up from your dream.
      Your eyes burst open,
      And the screams are deafening.



  Consumed in the dark.
  The screams were your own,
  And you are left there to bleed.
  Silent. 
  And hard like stone.
  That flicker of that smile fades,
  And nothings left,
  But an echo,
  Of a twisted,
  Tortured,
  Plea.

    Thank you for taking the time to enter, but I really do not see how this relates to the theme of my contest. It's possible I'm missing something here, and if so maybe you could let me know what kind of memory this is that you would never want to forget or let go of. I like dark writes in general and this definitely gives me chills, it just doesn't seem to fit for this contest.

    Thank you and best wishes,
    ~J.
