Dripping
The water keeps dripping
When will it end?
I cannot pretend
It picks at my mind, like blood on the brain
It makes me insane as I grasp at these chains
Why am I here, what have I done wrong?
The water is strong, I won鈥檛 last very long
Drip
Drip
Drip鈥?br>
The madness creeps in my head and swells
Screaming at me is the distant sanity bells
I cannot control the warlock鈥檚 black magic
He鈥檚 coming to get me and inject what is tragic
His needle pricks me and I feel it all flow
Miracle feeling from the beak of the crow
His caw is raw when he鈥檚 pecking at my eye
But I am the scarecrow so I watch the bird fly
Did I hear water running, I know that cold drip
Snapping on my face is life鈥檚 bedewed whip
The sting is intense as it falls down like rain
I scream and cry as the liquid brings the pain
I鈥檓 back in that place where the ravens dance
Where the trees have faces to put me in trance
Their bark is rough against my wrinkled skin
Standing alone with the layers seeping thin
The moon is yellow and the grass is blue
Where am I dripping, this place is new
I鈥檓 melting away inside this place
As the distorted air tramples my pace
I was left in the cell, shivering in the dark
Laughing at the stars, waiting in the park
I can hear the growl of the running dog
He wants to attack me in the misty fog
I can see my daughter crying in the distance
But I move in closer to feel her strong resistance
She snaps at me with her vicious teeth
Then digs a hole to keep me underneath
Her claws are sharp and she鈥檚 covered with fur
The smell of wolf is blatant through the blur
She snarls at me to push me in the hole
Now I鈥檓 trapped under dirt without a soul
A man hits me in the face and knocks out a tooth
I don鈥檛 want to go back there so I tell him the truth|||To me it sounds like a man is going through Chinese water torture and is coming in and out of sanity.
At the end he cannot take anymore so he gives in and tells the torturer what he wants to know.
Pretty interesting.|||What is it about exactly? I really liked it, I just wish I knew what it was about. Clever and great use of words. Good job, keep up the good work!
