Dawning of A Broken Day

  Vapid and vicious, the smile as thin as time. 

Perhaps it was a wire thin wicked grin.

Ear to ear a light-year long, chills clear to middle of brittle bone.

  Vacant the glare that ripped through the rouge and put fear in the heart of the devil himself.

Beguiled by eyes as kind as a kitten curled at his feet, blinking back the perversion of heat.

  Distraught and distracted softest of touch, terrified of the torture in her faint finger tips.

He wakes in a panic, in a puddle of sweat, head swimming in nausea,mouth held tight by sinuous saliva.

  Reality caved in crushing his chest, the weight of his worry pinning him in panic.

Pressing deep to his core, he feels every vacant stare and every deceptively soft touch.

  Tearing at the very fringes of his sanity, he cries out, clawing at his mind as if it's his coffin

Sealed in the corners of insanity he blinks against the breaking light, stumbling over pride along the way.

  Ceaseless to it's slaughter, it's path to perdition will consume him along the way. 

Take his hope, kill his faith, broken he will stay.

  Laughing louder, the sound surrounds him, brittle in the fray. 

Grin and bare them, mocking whispers, slink silently along the way.

  Frail and feeble, insides shaken, his mind his sanctum, now his prison to decay.

Grasping at the fringes of his nearly empty mind, the vicious smile pulls him further still.

  Dead inside, cold and ridged, ceased to be in the dawning of the broken day.

You take us to a place of unimaginable horror and displacement. You almost need a pickaxe to take with you just to get yourself out. Thanks for the write. Cheers :)

Kind of apocalyptic dark memorium.

Sometimes its hard to be true to yourself when in the company of those who do nothing but poison your existence. Fight the good fight, and live. Wonderfully written.
