Beaten In the Shadow of Abuse

You struck me down and beat me down to a ground I never saw before You left me the shame I felt nothing but the sting of the misery of pain I have a bullet deep in my back The scolding burn left to be the abused Where the hurt reeks inside my very veins My breath is shattered and shallow There is no way out The emptiness runs through The night swallows me through and through You pull me down You break me apart You tear my walls down You ruin everything and my nighmares make dreams disappear in the night where life falls through the depths of the dispair in the land of loss.
