I listen to you scream
my hand grasping the doo
fearfully finding its handle
my knuckles turning white
in my head voices screaming with fright
Standing firmly with my back to the wall
Refusing to fall , deny you pleasure of seeing me crawl
outside the wind is screeching
splattering rain against the window pane
adding to the disturbance in my mind
Silence slaps me in the face
hearing only the rushed pace
of you tearing across the the room
prying my hand finger by finger, from the door
hearing only the lonely sound of the rain
slowly going insane
laying there , on a cold hard floor
fighting no more
half slain
my only friend is the rain
only she shares my defeated pain
