Tortured

Every time I close my eyes
Every time I stop and pause
It comes back like a thunderclap
And my mind reels with the horror

Metal rips into flesh
And as it slices an ugly gash
See the muscle and fat torn open
And the splatter of crimson blood

Marred more than any man
Scourged for my sin
The fatal images plague me
I shake and weep

Not because of a movie
But because it really happened
And because I believe
It was worse
