CRASH!

CLASH!

My eyes flash

To the source of angry destruction—

He throws plates

And adds to the painful weights

Holding fear captive within me.

gulp

hiss

I swallow my beating breaths

As shards of glass

Cut my hands and knees.

I silently make pleas

For someone to save me.

Buzz

Whoosh

He leaves the house

And me in broken pieces.

The dread lingering pushes me to rise—

Forces me to open my eyes.

I leave before he returns.

Creak

Thud
