i hear...

the keys rattle

the footsteps pound

and the door slam loud

the engine turn over

the gravel crunching

and the tires screech with anger

i pull back the drapes

and i shake my head

God only knows

what it was that i said

i see you round the corner

and now i cant help but wonder

what girl will make you forget

i can only hope

that you drink it off

and you dont hit me again

i let the curtain fall

and i pull out my phone

i almost call for help

i know they wont believe me

theres no way to stop him

and my eyes begin to fill

they fill with tears

that arent deserved

for a monster not a man

ive taken this

for way too long

i close my eyes

and take a deep breath

im letting myself out now

ive been held under

drowning for far too long

its time i finally lived

i pack my bag

walk out the door

and i never looked back again.
