Pain

I hear the distant echo of my screams 
the feeling of my heart being torn 
away from happiness and laughter 
towards pain and fear 
the thought of waking up makes me shudder 
though those words that pain utters 
scrape away every bit of joy 
away from my lifeless soul 
into a distance of unimaginable hate and misery 
just left in a deserted space of hell
