Pain

You rip my flesh from my bones
Gnaw away at my tendons
You force my muscles to curl
I'm left with only my moans
I withdraw, you send in
Spasms which rot me like a burl

You dispossess me of my body
Wrest control away from me
Time passes behind the veil
I become disembodied
Rob me of kneeling on my knee
You grow great, I grow pale

You attack and become death
Torture and flay and scrape
Trap my will to be free
You rob lungs, my breath
I lose all my shape
I am locked away, unable to flee
