Torture

Twisted minds subcultured kinds, sounds from in the night
it takes away the light from day and makes this life not right.
  angry words cut like a sword,we often disagree
  once not at all, now to great the wall,taking you away from me.
It brings me down this round and round, why does this have to be.
I did my best more than the rest, to no avail I see.
   past regrets can not forget, forgiveness seldom known
   violent scenes and broken dreams and hearts turned into stone
a beatless drum each rising sun, again there is no change
an endless lope with little hope, life seems prearranged.
   Answers sought to countless thoughts, convictions forced to bend
   A strange desire to cause the fire, so all might come to end.
