Nothing Left

Nothing Left Where shall I begin Maybe with the burns upon my skin My memories are still so fresh Like the nails he pounded in my flesh No one can hear my plea Over the rattle of the chains binding me My body he now owns swinging the bat and breaking bones Leaving me in a bloody heap Feel the glass cutting deep Freedom I cannot attain His hands causing so much pain Kissing me his final note Using his knife and slitting my throat Mercy I cannot hope to gain I have nothing left except this endless pain
