Dream my dreams of the damned
whisper the words of darkness
that live within your soul
“Papas Redemption"

You know it is there…
In the secret places

Over there
See the quiet one
Huddled up in a ball
She knows…

Take a peek
That one there

Scars upon her arms and legs
So angry,
So angry,
Can not find a word to utter
She hurts herself
The muse writes her words in blood

Over there yes to your left
See the black pit?
Twenty or so little ones are there..
They only whimper faintly

What do you say?
This is painful for you to look at?


Come with me
I will show you
Painful…

Close your eyes
Listen
Hear the wailing of the infant?
27 years and a day before
She has cried that way
Never stopping


No!
I do not want to know!
Stop!
Stop!
.

Look,
“That little girl”
Oh?
Her bloody lips and bloody thighs
Bothers you?
You find it painful
To look upon?


PLEASE STOP!
PLEASE!


Come with me,
Look
See the girl…that lil “whore”
I am of your making papa


OH LORD,
PLEASE STOP THIS
I CAN NOT BEAR THIS
PAIN…


My Soul prayed
That someone would help
You to understand
What you did

I am the One
Who will show you


OH MERCIFUL ONE IN
HEAVEN
PLEASE STOP THIS
PAIN, SO BRUTAL
I CAN NOT…



Through
All
Eternity

You
Will
Stand
By
My
Side
To
Look
Upon
That
Which
You
Created
Papa
Mercy?
Not for the Little Girl
Not for me


The same as you
Meted out

Welcome


to Eternity...

This work is a powerful a reclaimation of SELF.
I knew someone quite like you, but briefly.

I was impressed with this twisted piece. It reminds me of The Divine Comedy and some unknown concentric circle of Hell. I like the inclusion of the masochist and the 'lil whore' as touchstones to the pain. Well written. Kudos.
