Somewhere

Once a man now what???

Beyond the flesh, sinew and marrow
Lies a monster hidden, empty and hollow
No remorse for crimes of yesterday
Just scar tissue, where once a soul lay

Beyond the now blackened heart
Lies a prisoner, fragmented and picked apart
Penance for horrors beyond his control
Held captive by, the Reaper's toll

Beyond the mask, front and façade
Beyond the smile, that is definitely store bought
Beyond the tingling and the numbness
Lies the man somewhere, lost in darkness
