by Nick Gisburne
Instinct, impulse, scraping at the soul
Incoherent dreams, reduced to dust
Flesh and bone, betrayed, beyond control
Nothing but a skin, a shell, a crust
Punishment, the long, forever pain
Timeless trauma, tortured, severed, split
Agony, too crippled to contain
Twisted pieces, bent before they fit
Hideous, the memories, the past
Scenes of silent misery, returned
Emptiness, eternal, vacant, vast
Sorrow, understanding, broken, burned
Drowning in a sea of time and tears
Sadness, for the worthless, wasted years
