Pain unveiled Revealed suffering I am awake to torment beyond sensation Unless I dream in agony This nightmare is reality Writhing undulation Dull disorientation Senses assaulted beyond perception Entangled in remnants of cracked security Tearing at gossamer threads of sleep Unable to return to the womb of unconsciousness Sloughing off skin and shedding out sentience Retreating away from the crushing sensations Burrowing into the soft flesh of despair Revulsion envelops swirling senses Seeping and creeping into every crevice Held close and raped by the crawling insanity Sliding back down the throat of convulsion Claustrophobia waves of nausea curiosity wars with terror Fitful flickering of illumination by a single encrusted bulb Heightens horror at the speed of pain consuming rationality What lurks in the dark tilted at angles leering from the outside Feet slick and slimy in detritus faeces and cast of meat Bones licked clean of meat stark in the putrid mass Slopping through the mesh floor ruin falling to infinity Grime crusted and caked by filth terrified eyes peering up The stench is intolerable and the cacophony unendurable A sound like humanity screeching in agonised unison Reality lies bending and breaking like some tortured beast Fluxing in contraction and expansion I hold myself and weep
