Eyes clouded with fear
Over ugly stares from around
By now , lost all hope
Of ever being found
Broken , cut all over
Gagged , bound and chained
Bearing the brutal torture
Through all this time that rained.
As the hands grab hold
Fingers choking tight
One last strong push
Using all might
But the result is still the same
Exhausted , body and soul
All the days of hunger
Has finally taken a toll.
Hopelessly looking away
Ashamed at the self
The fragile body broken
The body that was once an elf
As the innocence leaves the soul
And humiliation falls around
The ears are all blocked
But hears a single sound.
The sound of a high pitched scream
That leaves the chapped lips
As the crimson liquid flows
From beneath the hips
And as the storm clears
So is all hope
All is lost but life
Which ends when skin meets rope.
