The last dance

This poem is about a man being tortured.

The last dance;Take a last glance
Silence your lies;Face your demise
The time has come;The deed is done
Don't try to resist;Useless to persist.

Give up, useless to try;Better to just sit and cry.
The task is just too great.;You've made a grave mistake.
The dance is only about to begin,No chance for you to win.
So just stop this game;You are bringing more shame.

Such courage, you still stand;Let's see where you land.
I gave you an easy way out;All you had to do was shout.
Enjoy your prolonged pain,It's all part of the same game.
I have plenty of tricks;Sadly,none of them are quick.

Are you going to sing?;What do I have to bring?
No?,That is just fine;We have plenty of time.
Useless is a gun,I'll think of something, you can't run.
I can bring what you fear;or destroy that you hold dear.

Finally the words flew;I listen,tapping my shoe.
It's sad to see a broken man;As he begs for death's hand.

A very interesting poem. I like the emotion in the words. The last dance and you are done. You wrote it gentleness but create strong meaning in your words. A excellent poem.
