Abyss
Who were they?
I don't know, but they came
They took it all away
And left the rest broken
One day, without warning
Our world was shattered
Torn apart by attack dogs
We were safe until then
We used stay together to survive
We had each other's backs
We knew each other like family
Now I barely remember their names
The dogs then came
And as it turns out
This institution
Is bigger than we thought
Now we were separated
I was taken away, to… somewhere
Most were taken to other places
Places we didn't know
And some were imprisoned at home
I knew that our one ward wasn't the whole story
But I wasn't expecting such a horrific tale
And the pain was real
I remember one now
He was tall and large
A strong man, both physically and mentally
He's probably still alive
He can take care of himself
But he won't come back for us
He just disappeared
Maybe he's dead
We'll never know
Then there was another
Around my age, she was
Dark hair, she had
Maybe I loved her
But I don't know what love is
Not anymore
I found her body
Cold and motionless
Left in a bathtub to die
So sad, if I knew what that meant
There was one who was thin
I remember him well
He had a strong mind
But not strong enough
Not for their games
He did well, he won many
The games didn't kill him
The games made him kill himself
I saw his blood
That girl, and a few others
What they did to them
No one can forgive those dogs
Those poor girls
So innocent, they were
Dragged out of hiding
Forced to eat shit
Forced onto bed frames
Forced onto each other
Forced onto pain and torture
Weak under the stream of water
Slipping on the white tiles
Getting cut on lose cracks
Wrists red and raw
From the rough bindings
Cold without protection
Beaten until they were sick
Forced until they were broken
Raped until there was blood
I don't know where I am now
A room without a window
A mental ward maybe
Sitting inches deep
In blood and saliva
My own, most of it
Stuck on the floor
Chained to a frame
In the foetal position
Naked but not cold
Sounds like power tools
I think they're coming
No. I know they are
Assume the position
Accept your fate
If you're lucky they may kill you quick
Or not…
