It is all dull

When they close me

No air, no sound

No spark of light

Comes from that small window

Covered by spider webs.

All is silent,

The world loses existence.

It is me and him

And the solitude

He reminds me of in my ears.

They say with abhorrence

That all I utter is fear.

But, I saw its hands reach me

And I loathe him;

More than they loathe me.

They say I invite evil

Yet evil has befallen on me.

They say they detest it

When I scream.

But I detest it far more

When he finds his way

To my soul

When he reaches

Those aching wounds

And daggers them with mockery.

They say that

They will keep me there,

That I mustn't scream

But I scream!

I scream when he takes

That veil of darkness

And covers me

It is impossible to breathe

I scream and he laughs

They shout at me,

He laughs.
