;
blue sky. cloudy day. tears fall, imitating rain.
night falls. starry sky. slammed door. no goodbyes.
late night. void glasses. loud return. meaningless promises.
whisky kisses. mumbled apology. fearful rejection.
violence. fright. tear drop streams.
terrified screams.
nightmares too surreal to be called dreams.
noon departure. her relief. his sadistic laughter.
silence. anticipation. fear. the only things that remain.
'at least he's gone,' she mutters.
at least until this nightmare replays;
until he comes back again.
