The hammer pounds
Each blow drives me down
The aches, the pains, the moans
Sleep escapes yet again
Restless tossing from the jolts
Another spike driven deep
Dry red eyes
No tears will flow
Waiting for a cure
Desperate for relief
I cry out from my distress
Lord do you hear
When will you come
Will nail scared hands pull my nails
Can your touch soothe the pain
I wait…I wait…
