Fear
My emotions blind me
My body dead with pain
Begging to feel something again
To know that I live
My hand trembles violently
Unable to guide the blade
Causing a jagged path of destruction
Driven by the brutal force of inner pain
The pain echoes through my body
Its immense power gripping me
Captivating me
Trapping me in my mutilation cult
The blade eats through my skin
Feasting on the gaping wound like a monster
Washed in my blood
Glinting evilly before me
I am mesmorised
By the life force flowing from my body
From my self created wound
Staining my skin
My skin tingles as the pain builds up
Shuddering violently through my body
Pouring through my eyes
Tears raining fire on my wound
The pain numbs me
As my eyes follow my escaping blood,
Painting a web of pain across my skin
Fear engulfs me
My world freezes
The monster nearing, hungry for more
Its last meal can lay me to rest,
Can be my escape from this pain
But my fear grips me
Ripping the knife from my hand
Curling me into a ball
Throwing me back into life
Alone
