She heard the screams

Saw the violence

Everywhere she went it was always the same

Same argument 

Same lies

But worst of all, the same truths

And every time she would run

To her room

Tears flowing out, screaming inside

The four walss

Could never keep it out

She still tries to block the sounds

Deep in the back of her closet

She hides, under her blanket

Clinging to her heart for dear life

She can feel the shattering

Break by break

Love is inching away

This has become the life she knows

Lies, betrayal, deceit and pain

It's all that's left outside her closet doors

But when she hides

She can be free

In the corner where she sleeps

The yelling fades

And she's lost in her dreams

Where she's loved and free.
