Awaiting Pinhead
Break.
My nail hanging on the splintered door frame,
The rusty friction of my poisoned blood
Seeping through the contaminated cracks
Of the tormented nightmare I am in.
Rip.
My flesh from my hands,
Clawing at the jagged walls,
Cutting into my delicate veins,
To slash my surroundings crimson.
Cackle.
Guttural and scratchy in my throat,
Smearing broken flesh across my face,
Shrieking with maddening dread
From the torture I am receiving.
Burn.
Smouldering my suffering shins,
Scolding my soft skin,
Blistering my blood,
Singeing my soul.
Red.
The sign of suffering,
The mark of murder,
The trait of torture,
The colour of the cruel.
But the pain is irrelevant
There is much worse to come
What kills me
Is the wait...
I scream out in agony
The itching infected insanity
Building in my nebulous mind
I scream and my body convulses.
Searing temperatures fluctuate within,
Animalistic howls echo amongst
And through my lunacy
I’m able to hear
Through blood soaked ears
The slow, deliberate, mechanical steps
Accompanied by the screech of rusty razor knives,
The shudder of cold breath through gritted teeth,
The booming bellow of a beast
My broken body sprawled and I twist
My upper half in grinding pain
My stinging eyes searching
My gasps growing...
I squint at the pierced demon
The seductive cenobite
In patient, deliberate calm he growls:
Welcome, To Hell.
Screaming, shrieking,
Shattering, soul scolding
Wails will
Shudder and spin throughout the labyrinth
For eternity.
