The painting is a great addition to the poem. It gives one a look into the visual that inspired such piece.

Loneliness spills its cold sobbing oceans.
Drenching lives that now silently die.

I love these lines in your opening stanza. Amazing visuals created!

Spewing a storm of rot from inside.

Great line!

Pity these fools, in their wretched dungeon.
Resentment, reeling within tied vowels.

Very creative line woven here!

There is no escape for her!
There is no escape for him!
There is no escape for them!

I love how you ended the 3 beginning stanzas ... her, him ... them
