I remember.
The merciless screams.
Filled with such pain,
I couldn't look at her for days.

I remember.
The silent sobs
as she cried til her eyes dried out.
All I could do, was stick fingers in my ears.

They never ceased.

I remember.
The begging,
        The threats,
                The prayers,
                        The insistent tantrums-
And all I hoped for,
was for it to stop.

Too much noise.

"Let me out!"
That was all I could hear for weeks.
That is all that keeps ringing in my head.

I remember
Walls started to crack before questions crumbled to the floor.
The answers waiting on the other side.

And there she was
Amongst the rubble.
There I was
Staring at

me.
