Flailing limbs, arms and legs
Bent at the waist
Head disconnected
No wrists, no ankles
Only strings attached
They tighten, they loosen
I am not in control
Lifted, dropped
Tangled in my own mess
Only strings attached
The mighty hand twists and turns me
Makes me sit
Makes me dance
Makes me the entertainment for others
Only strings attached
A story acted out
A fairy tale of sorts
Nothing is real
Only a dream
Except for the strings attached
Just as you and I
The fairy tale that we once shared
Now is held in the balance
As I try to loosen my binds
Only strings attached
But there is something that didn’t break
It holds us tight
And has held us together all these years
It was . . . . . . .
The strings attached.
The darkness surrounds like never before
Frightening the child that’s lost
She screams in horror as she sees a vision,
A vision of you parents being mutilated and
Thrown into a violent pit of fire.
As she looks again she sees her older brother
First walking towards her then he’s taken away
By a dark mad man that kills him by a swift
Pull of a trigger.
She does not know what is happening
And she screams in between her never ending
Sobs hoping that someone, anyone will hear her
Cries of fear and loneliness.
She is alone in torturous darkness
That lowly calls her name.
In a sudden burst of awareness,
She turns in circles to find the source of the voice
But in fear finds nothing but darkness surrounding.
The poor child begins running in fear
That she will be captured by an unwanted being.
She cries, and cries, and cries,
Her tears suddenly turning to blood
As she continues to run for her life.
As she stops to regain her breath,
Her face begins to ache with much pain.
The tears slowly falling down her cheeks
Feel as if they have turned into acid
And it’s eating away at her skin.
Her dream, her nightmare,
Has finally come true.
What is she to do?
Where is she to go?
Why all this suffering?
The flames slowly eat her little body up
Yet she is still alive
To feel the pain, to feel the burn
To watch her own flesh melt off the bones
And fall to the ground in a big puddle of mush.
Dead and nothing left of her
But bones and blood and death,
Still the stench of a heartless demon floats in the air
As a gentle acid rain pour washes away the little girl’s remains,
Of her dreams, of her life, Of her mind, of her family.
Just remember, Nightmares Can Come True.
