Poem Artwork

My cheek crushed against his hand

“Confess your sins the voice demands

Who sent you here, are you a spy?

Don’t resist, don’t try to lie!”

I confess your meanings lost

Please tell me why I pay this cost?

Again the a blow crashes my head

Many more and I’m surely dead

What do you want with me?

What must I say to be set free?

This time the blows were low

How much more can this pain grow?

Then darkness surrounds my eyes

No more sounds, no more cries

Just silence and a numbness grows

As from my lungs a last breath flows
