Nothing Left

When did I fall so far from grace? To see disgust etched on your face Your twisted mouth in ghoulish scream Gnawing away at my self esteem Your knuckles white in hellish clench Raised to beat this whimpering wench As I lie huddled in foetal crouch Upon the floor in dejected slouch Your foot connects me in the head Now all the world is turning red A stabbing thrust upon my chest A crushing blow against my breast A strangle hold around my neck And from my mouth a crimson speck My lungs no longer holding air When was it you stopped to care? You said I meant the world to you But as I turn to deathly blue I have no will to question why Tis better that I leave and die
