Do not deserve to be tortured more. 

In our short moments of bliss.

Gave the room a spookiness
Dimmed by a lampshade
Made of tortured skin
Tattooed numbers tell the untold story...

Of being a tortured soul

Not sure if I’m doing right or wrong
With no real clue what's going on

I have a yearning
To break out of confinement
The tortured inside
The painful layers of fiery hate
Breakout of prison, be freed
