Poem Title:
Poem
I try to fight them, those cruel clawing cold hands that drag me from the pit, clawing, twisting, crushing me. I must find you! I need to hold you, to be held by you! So I fight, desperately, to break free, to find you. I try to fight them, even as the feel of the ropes upon my arms burning ever deeper, into my skin . I fight desperately, as the leather collar bites into my throat, and my breath leaves me. I try to fight, savagely, desperately, to break free. Knowing I can never escape, that I will fail, and knowing full well, what fate awaits us both. I know not where they have taken you, but I can still feel you, can still hear your voice, as it softly speaks of love. , It is how I know you are still alive, and that knowledge gives me strength to fight on desperately. My body is ravaged, torn, the horrors those cruel hands have dealt, have broken my very soul, yet I try, desperately to fight. I long for release into the void, yet I can still feel you, still hear your voice, still know your love. I know not, where they will take me, until the wagon comes to a stop. Then, for the first time in almost 16 days, your eyes are the first thing I see. You are alive, and when your eyes finally find mine, you look with such love, at me. So again, I fight! I fight so desperately, but those, horrible cruel hands, tighten their vicious grip, once more. I reach for you, needing your touch, sobbing your name. The pain, almost forgotten, gone, almost instantly. I struggle, oh, how I fight! And so, I didn’t see. I didn’t see the first of the blows, that spilled crimson onto the snow, at my feet. I screamed for you. I screamed your name desperately as I watched blow after blow rip your body to pieces, in front of me. Your blood turning the snow to slush, scarlet staining my feet. I watched your soul flee as I screamed for you, as the fight poured out of me. I watched, as they defiled you. I watched as they ripped your body apart. I felt your soul leave mine. I watched, as the light of the sunrise left your eyes. My soul broken, my body savaged, I crumbled to ashes, there in the snow, at your side. The numbness that overtook me, did nothing to save me, that day. I can still taste your blood. Goddess above, I still taste your blood! No, More! No longer, will I bear this well of horror, and tears! Goddess, help me! I am drowning in it!
