A slip of the curtain

A tiny shove of a door

A thin windowpane

An ear pressed against a wall


Loud arguments

Loud intrusions

Loud screaming lungs

Loud imperfections amplified


Different faces

Different opinions

Different hopes peeled away

Different thoughts left to rot


No mercy

No recognition

No fair resolution

No happy endings


Shaking nerves

Shaking supports

Shaking roots cut open

Shaking values to the core


Voices discouraging

Voices like thunder

Voices reprimanding

Voices of horror


Certain doom

Certain death

Certain it won't end

Certain of nothing


With what

With cause

With no choice

With inescapable fate


Any word

Any look

Any action

Any and all help


Creature of my dreams

Creature in likeness

Creature hopeful

Creature inside
