somebody's dungeon

With the break of day
still the nightmare lingers
peace now fleeting, gone!
Slipped right through my fingers.

Blasted once more upon.
Memories of grief and shame.
Buried once, now they live,
they surfaced in the game.

A game of words, of art.
What is, what isn't there.
Haphazard sling of phrase,
the hurt. My God who really cares.

The demon now persistent
gnawing at flesh and bone,
creeping over mind he does
refusing my plea alone.

Violation now relived.
I give up the fight of spirit
throw in the towel, depression now
oh how at last I fear it.

A game of who can best with word,
who can play with life poetic.
To me the game, a losers chance
to me, the words, pathetic.
