A Son of Laocoön
April 25, 2013
Venom creeps through my veins.
It hurts. It hurts.
Tears swell in my eyes and spill over.
It hurts. It hurts.
I pray to the gods to relieve me.
It hurts. It hurts.
Cold serpents writhe and constrict.
It hurts. It hurts.
I look to my father and plead for help.
It hurts. it hurts.
My limbs get weak and I fall to the ground.
It hurts.
It hurts.
