Forever Tortured

devoured by a darkness so evil
it frightens the night
encased forever in these walls
of scarred wood and teeth marks
proof of my failed attempts to escape

chaffed, ashen grey flesh covered bones
from years of sitting in my own waste
and a decade’s worth of crimson vomit
of meal scraps, wood chips and plastic

every other sun rise, I am drawn from my womb
fastened to a  bed of anguish and agony  
while a forceful slew of men and woman
lace my body with their poison
before they’d blister my skin, and abandon me again

clinging to the euphony of radio harmonies
used to drown out my cries
songs of those who claim to know my pain
they are my only companion, my solace

like a treasure box of fool’s gold found at sea
I now have deliverance from the vile cruelty
but inside, I am still weighed down by my onyx heart
rescued I may be, but tortured I will be forever
