No Hope, Yet I Pray

The thumping of the footsteps only made my heart beat faster.

I started squirming, only to hear chains rattle.

There was no hope.

No matter how many times I screamed, no one cared.

No matter how many times the whip hit me, I lived.

It was a curse.

Just kill me already.

I am no longer afraid of dying.

I am praying for it.

Everyday I break down, emotionally, physically, mentally.

I know I am weak, they will use that.

I am just a toy, to a master with no face.

They leave, with the door slamming shut.

It was over, for now.

I will heal, but not completely.

I will always be broken.

They will be back.

For they show no mercy.

There was no hope, yet I pray for death.
