Its Cold In Here

Twilight off darkness
opening past scars entering 
into those violated by unpleasant dreams 
Dumped in a canal left for dead 
trailed through a wooded area an unknowing victim
tortured for hours without mercy or shame
I prayed to God to save me
with all the strength that he gave me 
charging these vile beasts
falling to the ground broken 
I fell in my last fight for life

Dumped where no one would find me  
tears falling inside a labyrinth 
raping over and over again this mind
Ghosts appear knowing no bounds 
dark suckling on a soul's blood 
I saw myself lying in the water dead
nothing seemed real it all felt dreamlike
without pain praying in my dream 
awakening to awful unbearable pain 

A day had passed 
I awoke legs and body under water 
In such aches tearing into my being 
to see the Devil's own dancing drunk 
torturing me trying to break my legs 
casting me lower than an animal
the smell of fear ripping at the heart and soul

Lips hanging apart such a nightmare 
one eye almost out off the socket 
I roared to the Heaven's crying
oh God look what they have done to me 
hours it took to trail myself to safety 
One kneecap was off the joint 
the agony was unreal caked in blood
trailed myself to safety passed out
awakening in hospital
 






doctors said it was a miracle 79 internal bruises on ex-rays missing vital organs by small fractions they said judging by your injuries I was left for dead then they thought i would loose my sight as my iris was damaged thanking God I am still alive I am writing my book called the Irishman's hell for 5 weeks of hell I ate with a straw it was this month many years ago this happened something has brought it all back

Kelly Deschler Date: 10/10/2014 2:33:00 AM I have to echo Maurice and Bindu's words.... no human being deserves to go through this kind of torture.
