Wild eyes
widening with each
intended strike of torture
Is that a hint of enjoyment
displayed upon
your spirited face?
a pretense of pleasure?
Fingers curling around
the table where you lay
bound, chained
Everything invisible
except the stitches
that outline the shadow
of your struggling body
Completely still
listening to the sounds
of the world surrounding you
Uncontrollable outbreaks
of silent insanity
hidden under the skin
that stretches over the bones
Stained bandages
wrapped tight
around your wrists
Unspoken secrets
actions automatic
scratching away
at the flesh
Mirror reflection
guilt stricken lips
unable to speak the truth
Play hide-n-seek
with the ever taunting lies
sanity deteriorating
how long until you're fully taken?

I like it. A good take on insanity.
"Unspoken secrets

scratching away
at the flesh" - I love that stanza, very powerful.
