for Torture

I think we long for torture

For the pain
and the passion
and the grief of it all

For the searing burn
and the piercing cold
that will strike you straight to your soul
so that once and for all
you will know beyond knowing
this world that we live in is Real
it is Here
in the darkest place of ourselves
that we find
that Thing that craves the pain
that pushes away
and makes us ache
for the loss of it all

it is Here
that we long for the torture


for only the torture


releases the soul







(The words were flowing. I am simply the vessel.)
