Hammer and Nail

Karma in it's ultimate form.

Drained and weak

My breathing thickens

Pulse irregular

My heartbeat quickens

 

Heat begins racing

Through every vein

Rage is leftover

Like an ugly stain

 

Coating my insides

With hate and despise

I barely feel a thing

When the numbness arrives

 

Grounded I stand

Glued to the spot

Stuck where you left me

To decay and to rot

 

I attempt to pull free

But to no avail

Rooted to the floor

Hammer and nail

 

You watch as I struggle

You prod and you poke

My vision then, gets clearer

Suddenly, I awoke

 

Redness was matted

About my hands and on my chest

In my delirium

Logic took a rest

 

There you hung

Crucified to the spot

Hammer and nail

I left you there to rot.

 

 

 

Author's Note

When slipping into insanity, I doubt you even feel numbness.
