Betrayal

HELP!

I am entranced
As the figures surrounding me
Advance
They resemble my friends, familiar beings
Yet when their lips stir,
I don't follow their meanings

Perplexed pupils, set ahead in
Hysteria
I am immobile, immersed in
The area

HELP!

Desolate, am I
Forsaken, restrained sighs
When petrified expressions
Are uttered
They feel taciturn
Unholy, vile, sly

I long to howl out
To grasp these bodies about
And as their cores begin to quake
Deservedly ache

HELP!

Such virtuous oblivion to blame
No concrete culprits to attach tainted names
Perhaps the reality that hindering
This torment
Was realizable in some ways
Truly makes my ordeal a shame?

I would not wish to cease this life
And yet in torture, such feelings do arise
A form of vengeance, to haunt these vicious crimes
To watch while villains drowned in guilt, writhe

HELP!

And even when clamored, my frenzy lacked reply
For I was silenced, spurring simply, a hollowed cry
