My head is on the table

and the King of sarcasm stands above me

spewing forth-violent words,

from his brain bleed that is so manically unstable.

My heart is leaking onto floor

and the King of hurt steps to and fro

shuffling through his phrases of dirt

as I try to run legless to the slamming door.

My soul is slowly dieing

and the King of hypocrites twists his knife

into the gapping corkscrew holes

stuffing in the black pitch filled lies.

My silent screams are blinding.

And the King of Torment skips off

adjusting his halo of flies happily,

momentarily content, and sweetly leaving.

I think I get the gist of it. Sounds like somebody has changed and not for the better---my condolences. Hopefully things will get better. Please do not worry, for your soul is not dying. Torment physical, verbal, and societal I do understand, though.

It's a well-written piece that gives a good communication about the wretched experience. I've been on both ends of that myself. Some people who haven't learned better yet tend to use words when it ought to be water guns or a hard game of ping-pong.

This was written as a response to a poetry challenge to use the line
"My head is on the table"
But you did get the idea correct. And yes for many, many years I lived with this King...wasn't all verbal. But that was long, long ago, yet I will never forget those 8 years and they left many deep scars.
Thank you for your kind words and I am glad you enjoyed.
