Maelstrom
It was there the nightmares years ago begun,
With pain and screams and torture found within;
I can not wait 'til, long last, they'll be done.
Distress they caused could never be undone,
Such horrors at the surface like a sin;
It was there the nightmares years ago begun.
I plunged in darkness, gone just like the sun,
And whirled around so long my head did spin;
I can not wait 'til, long last, they'll be done.
The visions plagued me, I thought they had won,
My skin prickled, as from many pins;
It was there the nightmares years ago begun.
Returning to that place would make me run,
This was a battle I could never win;
I can not wait 'til, long last, they'll be done.
Over the years I've lived upon the rim,
Where pain does rise and fill up to the brim;
It was there the nightmares years ago begun,
I can not wait 'til, long last, they'll be done.
