Flayed skin,

Burning bone.

Surrounded with sin,

All alone.

Tortured cries,

Silver gleams.

Too many lies,

Only screams.

Stop the pain,

Tell him 'yes.'

Pick a blade,

Cut the flesh.

Another soul,

Another knife.

No longer whole,

This is life.

Twisted shadow,

Demons dwell.

All I know,

This is Hell.


Story title comes from an Imagine Dragons lyric. Like my other poem, this was born by accident during an rp with my friend. Let me know what you thought if you've got the time! Carry on my wayward sons!
