Sadness deepening
Anger flaming
So much yelling
non-stop blaming.
"When will it stop?!"
I yell in my head
I can't breathe or think
as I cry on my bed.
The sound of slapping
"QUIT IT!" I yell
"Why do this to me?!
Why put me through hell?!"
"Is it not enough
for me to just watch?!"
I shout to them both
as I add the millionth notch
to the tally of days
they both spent bickering
and I watch as the candle flame
turns only to flickering.
It resembles the love
for each that they feel
I watch it decrease
I feel my head reel.
"WHY PUT ME THROUGH HELL!?"
I scream while I run
Tears stream down my face
Do they find this...fun?
wow...i was three when this happened...but i remember it like it happened yesterday...i remember actually running outside and into the storage shed so i didnt have to hear them scream...no one came after me...
