Salty tears falling

onto her cold skin.

distant voices shouting

drunken from the gin.

a scream, a cry

a shout of rage.

she hides under her duvet

wonders why they're engaged.

lonely, terrified and alone

she hugs her pillow tighter.

she just wants to go home

make everything all better.

he entered,a sneer etched on his face

his glare burning straight through her soul.

the pain on her face, invisible to trace

her heart had now turned into a big empty hole.

he pulled off her duvet and spat in her face

she winced at his touch, a tear escaped.

he shouted repeatedly, 'you're a fucking disgrace'

her mothers' screams were silent

she was still taped.

pushing her father away, she got up bravely

apologised to her mother and ran to the balcony.

closing her eyes, she began to relax

raindrops falling soothingly on her back.

the time was wrong, yet she had to try

to leave the world in which she'd been dumped.

smiling she whispered, 'angels can fly'

all her sadness left her, as she made her choice and jumped.
