In the depths of Hell
Raging fires flared
Heated stones felt like burning coils
Tears dared to escape the poor girls eyes
But then quickly evaporated
Sweat drenched her
Unheard screams failed to leave
The unleashed darkness
A rigid blade rests on her throat
Held by an invisible man
He threatens to push deeper
Into her soul
Pain is the only thing in this life
Nothing to salvage or save
Any attempts are met with haunting whispers
They echo her to sleep
Telling her what she's made of
Worst part is that she believes it
Sirens screech
The victims eyelids would never let sight take over again
The trembling stopped
The chest ended its faint rising and falling
The heart quit its dancing through broken pieces
When all saw what had become of her
They wept
Wished better of themselves
Knowing that the traumatic image
Will forever haunt their minds
The world left her behind
The world leaves us behind
