A tortured soul is truly defined,
as someone dancing on the line,
between insanity and death,
always battling with the stress,
of needing the soul to lay to rest.
To find an escape from the fading light,
the need increasing late at night,
when the soul is alone with a butcher's knife,
wanting,
craving,
to end its life.
Can you hear the tortured soul?
Can you see the tortured soul,
scarred and bleeding on the floor?
The soul is fading,
fading fast,
until it finally,
mercifully,
has passed.
