Though this body isn't enough This life isn't enough My life has grown without meaning As I fall into a dark abyss of dreams That may only be found in the deepest horrors of the mind I see a beast before my eyes His or whatever It may be stares blankly at me Its eyes are intense and beady The fur is in rough patches on his pussy putrefied skin Its mouth is twisted with sharp crooked rotten teethe Its claws are long, pitch black like the night sky with no moon, and cracked "Beast... hideous beast why do you haunt me," I cry out! It does not reply instead it slowly makes its way to me I take a few steps back In attempt to keep my distance from it Blood spills out of its mouth down it misshapen body "Beast do not come closure or else," I scream at it! But it does not stop Oh no... It keeps coming towards me slowly limping on one leg As the other one shows bone decaying off its limb And suddenly it runs towards me Without hesitation its tries to pierce my heart I move to quickly though and it pierces my arm Removing the very limb from my body My arm throbs in pain I gushes blood all over the black water on which we stand "SOMEBODY ANYBODY HELP ME," I plead to the sky. With all my energy I stand facing the beast And once again it lunges at me This time taking a leg It grunts and black and green puss fall from its nose I start to cry tears like oil fall from my face into the water "Beast," I say and collapse to the floor not able to withstand the pain anymore "Why... Why do you do this to me," I ask silently It still does not answer And this angers me I lung at it with the remainder of strength I have And suddenly my life flashes before me All of my loved ones, all of the good things I've done And last of all, all of the sin I have committed Over everything else this triumphs And I see the beast We look into each other’s eyes The beast turns into me Its eyes are sadder than mine And I vanish into nothing Vanish into the nothingness that I've created ~~By Yasamine Cruz |
