Torment's Chain

life pains
blood drains
suicidal thoughts remain

words provoke
thoughts choke
leaving me barely sane.

morals low
poisons flow
stinging fast but killing slow.

fires burn
never learn
leaving death wished thoughts to churn.

bullets bang
wishers hang
breaking free from torment's chain
