Tortured
Two minutes to go in this horrible heat.
I can’t wait to be free and out of here.
I see someone outside sitting in a seat,
Watching, waiting, slowly sipping a beer.
One minute to go and I’m starting to melt.
I’m in so much pain I don’t know what to do.
I try to yell, but it’s like nothing I’ve ever felt.
I’m losing sensation and my feelings are few.
Thirty seconds to go and all I can see now
Is this person by the glass staring at me.
I wish I could leave, but I don’t know how.
Why is he licking his lips? What could it be?
Only ten seconds to go, this is almost the end.
I’m cooking to death and I can’t even weep.
Five seconds to go and I can’t contend.
It’s finally over, I am no more…BEEEEEEEP!
