somebody's dungeon

I used to scream
at nothing, no one
loud piercing sound
sent into night
enveloped in flight
as the darkness ate,
sufficient to sate
it's need,

on my horror
the blackness would feed.

I was left empty, and silent,
void as the tyrant of feelings

    escaped

the prison of myself.

There was nothing else
   no other medium
so I was forced into tedium
as the screaming, became a chant
and I can't remember a time
when within twisted rhyme
there was comfort for my soul.

Now I write to make up the whole
from the pieces of me

    I've s c a t t e r e d

as shattered I screamed
         and screamed
            and screamed

knowing not that silence
       is all that escaped.
