Glowing brake lights on a Dead end street
Bound and gag - a bloody sack of meat
Land a thump and drug across the floor
Hanging lightbulb then drugged some more
Blacked out windows and blacking out
Every minute is now in doubt
Look for meaning and second guess
Unknown captor and thoughts a mess
Pain inflicted - hapless Victim
Mad, sadistic - Darkly wicked
No explanation rhyme or reason
Not for ransom in this killing season
Cast as captive through a sliding door
Cast as victim in this house of horrors
Jumbled thoughts try to look for meaning
A need to punish - helpless screaming
Water boarding - gasp for air
Pick your savior and say your prayers
Pins and needles that prick your skin
Hope against hope for a rapid end
Broken lightbulb and a swollen eye
Vision failing no tears left to cry
Pain subsiding - acquiesce
Scream exhaustion shout ’til deaf
Realization - this is it
Hope of rescue has been blown to bits
Tracing steps to what put you here
Final moments thoughts finally clear
Pain inflicted - hapless Victim
Mad, sadistic - Darkly wicked
No explanation rhyme or reason
Not for ransom in this killing season
Cast as captive through a sliding door
Cast as victim in this house of horrors
Jumbled thoughts try to look for meaning
Dead exhausted - death of dreaming
