Torture Pattern

by Shædow Poet   Sep 18, 2005


Day one:
The silence was more terrifying than the noise
Sure, her footsteps bleached my black locks
Yet in that spilt second of nothingness,
I felt utterly tortured,
In such a lifeless state until,
An inch away from my ear,
The scream.
I lost a sense.

Day two:
Silence became my mortal enemy and my life
It was all that I could hear,
Actually, I could not even hear that,
Silence is in hearing nothing, waiting for something,
I knew, nothing would come.
Lost in my sorrow.

Day three:
Wrist cutting and boozing away the hours,
Until her footsteps could be seen
Seeing her was worse than the nightmares
I knew I was screaming, yet could not hear so
She opened up a pair of scissors
They rested on both sides of both eyes
The slit.
I lost a sense.

Day four:
I always wondered how a blind man would dream
Whether my slowly maddening mind was playing games,
Or it was just another loss,
I did not dream, nor did I hear, it was blackness
From sleep to wake
Dark and soundless.
I relied on feeling, touching.
Lost in my sorrow.

Day five:
T’was a pattern,
One day torture one day pain
Without being able to see or hear her, it was a shock
That made me jump, as my hand touched her breast
She was cold, I could feel so,
She grabbed my arm, a slick blade caressed it.
When you cut too deep, you loose feeling.
I lost a sense.

I lost a life.
And she destroyed the pattern.

    I am truly impressed by this piece, nothing i've read compares to it on the level of evil it portrays, it's so very subtle, and sickening. Wonderfully crafted.

    Wow... Very dark. Truly amazing... I don't write dark poems, but I do have a vampire kind of poem. I liked this a lot!

    When you die you loose senses one by one and i like how you described that only in like a different way. i don't usually like dark poems but for some reason this one caught my eye.
