she screams
she stays quiet .
he screams
she remains silent
verbal warfare
the battle fought
with accusations
and assumptions
I hate you !
I hate you more !
screams getting louder
meanwhile she
cowers in a corner
her hands over
her ears .
sobs racking through
her body .
this is her world
this is her present
this is her nightmare
her childhood tainted
their little girl .
