No words

As I stand in silence
My chest rises and falls from the race I have run
The false sense of victory is rapidly squelched
as you arrive in the doorway to transfer your rage

You have covered the distance
Your target is cowering
Duck and cover becomes it’s only escape.

The blows on the flesh that made your blood boil
travel straight to the center of it’s staggering soul.

It cries not from sadness, but as a last line of protection
Hoping you will believe the lesson was learned.

Your rampage grows silent
The hall light is left on
I should not have disturbed you
I am just afraid of the dark
