Lethargic Malevolence

It's like I've been struck.
Like I've been smacked up-side the head,
-------------------without warning,
without a second, to prepare myself.
I attempt to defend myself
-------------------but I'm shut down,
-------------------without a chance,
by the next slap.
This time across my face.
Defense doesn't work, try something else.
My tongue's bloody and swollen
-------------------chomped to shreds by the pearly whites
-------------------I once called my allies.
From biting words to biting lips
Neither are of use to me now, enemies.
I keep silent...
My eyes betray me.
Next attack comes swifter than the previous
-------------------making contact with my jaw.
Must not break, but the sting is overwhelming.
I have no more tactics.
My minds eyes been clouded
-------------------my fantasy inside gone
Ripped from the sockets by claws so sharp
There is nothing left.
I cannot defend against it.
The verbal assault continues, the strikes keep coming
But all is silent to me now.
My consciousness has been lost.
