Numb, Gutted, and Dead
By andhaka
Beating, clawing, whimpering inside
Breathing still, though the soul has died
Anguish, hatred, and a dash of fear
Turned to dirt what once was clear
Resting in an empty grave
Timorous spirit, though appearing brave
Just a moment to change to it all
Walking free before hitting a wall
Heart slaughtered in a perpetual war
Immersed in masochistic gore
Like rotting flesh of dead prey
Bit by bit I begin to decay
Starting from the sightless eye
Oh all the filth that they did spy
Engorging next the vacant brain
Inch by inch I go insane
Finally comes my shredded heart
Little by little torn apart
I lay here numb, gutted, and dead
Lifeless eyes staring ahead

Very dark and real! ^.^ The rhyming was spot-on as well.

This poem put me in a black haze with red splotches all over. Beautifully written in my humble opinion. In writing, I must say you definitely chose the right outlet.

Every time I clean a fish I feel the same way (HA!) - great title. Certainly things are dark but not impenetrable, keep writing and cool carabineer in your lips is that?

Cheers Andhaka and this was worthy of a second comment. Where did everybody go? (happens sometimes) - no rhyme or reason, like some of my poetry.
