It rots, hides, deep inside
Sharp claws, knashing teeth
Shadows in the dark
Caging me, changing me
Warping me in and out
Pain so acute
A knife in my breast
Pain so severe
A shattered, bleeding heart
Overflowing blood
Midnight skies, eclipsed sun
Black waters
Reflecting a void
Tar pit trap
Holding me captive
Fists against steel
Silence, alone, abandoned
Broken, bound, ensnared
Inside my mind
With no way out.
