Consciousness Extinguished

Eccentric beating of your heart
as horror unfolds,
life, like a rose, wilting,
refusing to die;
prolonging agony.

The mind
tortures the spirit,
with the body caught in between.
Every last drop of his blood
is mixed with the sweat
as they both drip to the floor.

And though you are washed
you will still remember him
and still hear his excruciating scream...

Your mind sucked under,
as the bloody knife falls to your feet.
Consciousness dieing.
Light:
extinguished.

Monster:
released from within.

Author notes

This wasn't my original idea, but once I start writing I can't direct where the poem is gonna be headed.

Took inspiration from the contest picture.
