Torment "Act Two in the Tears Series"

 

 

Hear, Hear . . . I hear these voices 
in my brain that encircle it like 
a thick fog that has no beginning 
nor an end. Cries, Cries . . . these 
cries hide myself in me unable to 
let go. Tears, Tears . . . these tears 
burn down the flesh of this aging 
scarred gray face from eyes that 
used to gleam but brightness taken 
from them so very young. Pain, Pain . . . 
the pain returns each night to haunt 
my restless sleep with tortured demons 
from long ago that seem to shadow true 
life hidden. See, See . . . can you see what 
you have done to this once free spirit 
by plucking wings of innocence and 
leaving to die on this cold hard ground 
To hear, to cry, the tears, the pain, 
to see that there really is no reason why . . . why.
