My Dear Diary

Today I translated a poem written by myself.

But I found it was really difficult to find the most appropriate words, and I don't know how to make it more easer and smoother.

I will be grateful if you can point the error out to me.

Any suggestions would be appreciate.

Nothing Left

不剩

/

I felt like I was eaten by someone

我感觉我就要被什么东西吃掉了

With every last one of my bones

连骨头都不剩下

I wish I could ask what's does I taste like

真想问问它我是什么味道的

Wonna know if there was a chance or not

不知道还有没有机会

/

The first thing I lost was my ears

我最先失去的是我的耳朵

I couldn't hear her voice at once

忽然就听不见它

Of course, and any sounds of chewing

当然也听不见任何咀嚼的声音

Then she swallowed my eyes

随即它又咽下我的眼睛,

Suddenly, all turned to completely dark

忽然就一片漆黑

I knew I would never see her anymore

我知道我再也看不到它了

Finally I stopped struggling

最后我不再挣扎

Just letting her taste my flesh and blood in silence

不声不响地任它啖着我的骨肉

/

She was a kindhearted devourer

它是个心地善良

Even has a little bit melancholy

甚至有些忧郁的吞噬者

She chocked, tears silently

它哽咽它默默号泣

She feared of pain

它害怕痛

She said, couldn't be like this for long

它说不愿再这样下去

I just wanted to ask you why you have translated 它: she? Or, why didn't you write 她 in the Chinese version ?
