Claret from the deepest wounds

Spill from uncouth lips

Eyes stripped back in haunting terror

Betraying tears do slip

-

Nails of sterile needles sting

Raping my tender flesh

Morphing, twisting inside of me

My skin, a tangled mess

-

Fingers running down my back

Belied as a tender touch

Turn into a sadistic caress

That make the pain too much

. . . . . . . . .

I don't want to die

Why can't I wake up

This pain is getting worse

Just let it all . . . . just stop

. . . . . . . . .

Against my heavy chest

My beating heart does pound

Clutching the sheets beneath me

I scream, but there's no sound

-

Even now as I stare

Into the ebony night

I can't forget, nor leave behind

That painful, horrible fright

-

In the dark, it waits for me

Like a hungry beast

I try not to fall asleep

But daylight hours have ceased.

-

Grinning wide with ivory teeth

It knows I cannot bide

There's nowhere left to run

And nowhere left to hide

-

Engulfing me in its hungry maw

Memories flood into mind

When flesh and metal of my body

Were brought together as twine

-

This monster is getting stronger

Feasting upon my fear

It takes control of my life

Threatening everything I hold dear

-

I can't escape, I can't get out

Someone help me from this dream

Save me from the fearful nights

Someone. . .please. . .help me be free

Well, I can't say that it was all I thought it was going to be, but it's. . . .alright. . . I guess. Certainly not one of my best ones (I think Magneto's has become my new fav), but I can deal with it.

Anywho here's my explanation: We all know that Logan a.k.a Wolverine had his steel claws and framework surgically installed inside of him (right???). Well, from this, I gather he has to have some might frightening dreams from that experience. Yes, it may be a little fuzzy on the details, but I filled in for it. ^_^ I know it started out a bit violent, but I wanted to express just how much pain he must have felt. In the end, I believe that this fear of that surgery haunts him in his dreams and sometimes takes control over his actions. Almost as if it had a physical form.

Understand? I hope so. ^_^

Anywho, I thank all of those who continue to read these pieces of crap and be nice enough to review (or just read). :P I really appreciate it from all of ya.

Well, the next chapter sounds like a Bobby/Iceman chap. As for the person that requested a Pietro poem, I already did one. Look on the chapter bar for "Escape."

Until next time,

Ciao. ^_~
