Spikes beneath your joints

Bludgeoned by the wheel and kept alive

Condemned to the breaking wheel

Mangled, entwined in wood

Embrace the pain you feel

You’re suffering, as you should

Dragged to the executioner, pressed to the floor

Never ending demise, fear burns through these eyes

Lost, forgotten in space and time

Skin withered, inhuman cries

‘Why won’t I fucking die?

The pain blinding, that which I hate

My ending, my final time

This punishment is my fate.’

Spikes beneath your joints

Bludgeoned by the wheel and kept alive

Dragged, pressed, restrained

Fractured, tortured, maimed

Beyond absolute agony…

‘I see my toes, they meet my shins

Both femurs jagged/fractured and exposed

Though my consciousness begins to wane,

My vision has never been so clear…’
