House Of Pain

Many sleepless nights,
Day after day.
Sheer bloody agony,
That won't go away.

To visit that place,
Is the lesser evil.
And pay for pain,
To cease upheaval.

As I take my turn,
In this den of dread.
Manic thoughts begin,
To fill my head.

That morbid fear,
Of that incessant drill.
This time I know,
It's out to kill.

Or of that needle,
So long and cruel.
So lethal so sharp,
Made of cold steel.

Sit down relax,
He does softly say.
Now open wide,
And I'm his prey.

Oh that looks bad,
I'll whip it out.
There is no time,
To protest or shout.

Now that needle,
Plunges earthly deep.
My eyes fill up,
And tears do seep.

Now that drill,
That burrows deep.
It makes me groan,
It makes me weep.

And while performing,
His Marathon Man act.
He decides to engage,
In one-way chit-chat.

This angel of death,
This dentist from hell.
When my torture's ended,
He wishes me well.

I splutter a goodbye,
And an all the best.
I leave double quick,
Like all the rest.

He utters farewell,
Have a splendid day.
And on your way out,
Don't forget to pay.

I've paid enough,
In pain and fears.
I need a rest,
To dry my tears.
