She hides behind her locked
She hides behind her locked door,
Yelling and arguing
seep through the thin walls,
flooding her ears.
The voices that once soothed her to sleep,
now unrecognizable.
Words that should never be said,
to one another.
her tears glide down her face
soft whimpers escape her dried lips
memories of what she had before,
a mother,
a father,
who loved eachother.
now?
nothing.
