The Last Beating

The last beating
 Written 5-11-07 Edited 5-15-07
 
I wake up to hear screaming
 Loud piercings through my ears
 I try to ignore them
 They become more closer
 The bedroom door creeps open 
A shadow walks inside Pain,
 pain seels into my skin
 Rushing blood onto the floor 
My nose drips so quickly
 Bruises begin to form 
I cry out for help
 No one around to see
 My body starts to shutdown
 But the agony feels much worse 
I try to stay awake
 The room begins to spin
 I now know it's time to die
 As the beatings become harder
 I pray to god to forgive
 What has been done to me 
I gently close my eyes 
While the light slowly fades
