He's curled up with shaking fear
On the sharp bed of nails
Piercing his small fragile body
Shelling his tender soul.

Silently he cries
Tears kissing his rosy cheeks
Caressing him
Blood and sweat permeates the air.

Uncurling himself
Nails sting like bees against his body
Sitting up
Eyes looks into the unknown.

Finally, he stands
Naked
On shards of broken glasses

Oh how pain loves him!

Every excruciating step
Relishes

Something hidden feeds

"Pain, pain, pain"

"Feed me with pain!"

"I want it so much!"

"I hate it,
but I relish it!"

He cries

Threads appear
Resonating sound
Of sharpened knives
slowly encircling him
closer and closer
slicing
through
his
flesh
