From the torture,
Swelling eyes and bruising skin.
I lost my will.
The screaming,
Either for help or for release.
I lost my voice.
From the mind games,
Torment and attacks.
I lost my sanity.
The unanswered prayers,
Glazed in tears, tied with fright.
I lost my faith.
From the scars,
Etched into my defensive walls.
I lost my blood.
Secluded and forgotten,
Lost and abandoned.
I lost myself.
