Tarnished Soul

by Dorotea©   Mar 12, 2005


Sinking deeper into your tarnished soul
The world around you fades into obscurity
Clammy coldness brushing at your heart
Pulsing waves of pain drum at your head

The well-known nightmare strikes again
Shards of torment pierce your numb heart
Vibrations fill your body as you shake in fear
You’ve lost in the battle for control of your mind

The master of your thoughts sends visions of hate
You’re stuck to watch them slowly flow past
The pale hand you own twists and wrings
Your caged fury throbs in rhythmic beats

An explosion shatters your mind completely
No will to resist remains in body or soul
The knife of hatred plunges deep into you
Your flesh torn apart and dying in dread

Opening your mouth crimson blood comes flowing
Nobody left to head the anguished last words
“I leave this world now for the better”
Your soul breaks down engulfed in eternal flames

    That was definetly mysterious and freaky. Enjoyable read. (btw I've got part two in Metaphorical Murder posted since you said you wanted me to let you know...). Good job on the poem.
