Torture

A twisting feel  in a heart
And butterfly's excite a tummy
A tingling feeling in scarred thighs
And  warmth across a face.
 A hard smack on red cheeks.
Washes away these foolish day dreams
As blood trickles out of dried lips.
The crack of a whip and leather meets flesh.
Agonizing screams are unleashed
From parched throats.
The rattle of heavy metal chains
Dragging across the floor.
The locks clicking into place.
Rough hands, many hands grasp  bloody skin
And hang bound hands, letting uncovered feet
Burn and turn to ash above a fire provoked.
The heat is lost and melted stumps are thrust
Into dry ice, freezing swollen knees as well.
Sharp and shiny, sterling silver hooks sink into
Joints and pull.
The rest of battered legs ripped off from a broken hip.
Acid drips, then trickles, then pours heavily on two
Still bound arms. Eating away at bone and muscle.
Screeches echo off stone walls, nobody cares.
Untamed mountain lion, released
A head taken, eaten in one fell swoop.
The lights are turned off. Doors are closed.
Everything taken away. And there's nothing left of me
But a stump.
