I looked into the face with hollow eyes.
It seemed you could see
straight thru to where the soul died.
I heard the sounds from within,
the moaning echoes of its cries.

Emotions trapped in a prison of its
own design,
on an up and down journey like a
roller coaster ride.

It dwelt in a place where from
reality it could hide
with racing fleeting thoughts
tossing from side to side.

The sadness over whelmed me
as I tried to comprehend
the visions of the soul abiding
deep within.

No light in its darkness,
No escape from its pain.
Nothing to lose,
Nothing to gain.

Misery was its name,
capturing souls to play its game
and its rules never remain the same.

Torment was its reward,
as it slashed
thru the heart
to never feel anything again
with this two edged sword.
