I feel grim torture biting,
having to put up with your
lies be my torture,
and in so many other ways
you torture me
It don’t even matter that
the torture you won’t admit
For I do know deep down you
regret the torture I feel
So no use in crying over
this torture you transmit
Just understand that my
torture stems from your
very behaviour
You torture all who love
you, nothing it seems is
taboo to your torture
I can’t work out why you
torture me so
This pain I feel is all
the torture bestowed
Unwanted torture you
planted in my mind ages
ago, now ripened to flow
down ferocious rivers of
torture, and I've taken to
scream the torture away

I like how you used the word "Torture" in your poem.
My favorite part of your poem is,
"Unwanted torture you
planted in my mind ages
ago, now ripened to flow
down ferocious rivers of
torture, and I've taken to
scream the torture away."
Thanks for your entry.
