Das Gesicht des Schmerzes

Help me

A small request it seems

Help me
What's happening

The request gets bigger
More pleading

Help me
What's happening
 I do not understand

Aaaah

The eternal lament

You do not understand
Yet still
Make no effort in that direction

Oh

You question
Theorise
Postulate

Yet validity is lacking

Do you seek rote answers

Or insight

No

Outward you gaze
A mere façade

Your self

Your innocence

Killed by your flesh
Buried by it

You ask me to help

Plead with me no less

Should I have helped those you maimed
Those you left at home

Lonely

Waiting for you

What of the tortured
Teased and assaulted
In word and deed
As you careened through your life

Oblivious to all but your petty whims

I want

I need

All that harm

At your behest

Help you

I offer no help

Only endings

I judge

See now

See what you have been blind to
Feel the flesh tear from your bones
As you tore all those hearts and minds

Yes

Yes I see that you begin to understand

You see the monster

You see the ending of your humanity

Enjoy that ending

I shall let you endure it

For all eternity

Welcome to hell
