Stairs of Sorrow

I stood on the top step
The loud voices were screaming
Fingernails on a chalkboard
I want them to stop their shouting
Silent, unobserved wraith on the stairs
They argue even more loudly
She runs into my line of sight
Her hands clench over a suitcase
Crouching low I stare through the spaces
Wooden railing hides me from view
I want them to stop their screamin
I want to crawl back into bed
Crashing plates shatter on the floor
A roar
A thump
The sound of a door slamming
Tears in my eyes as I hear the car
Speed away into fading memories
He sees me hiding on the stairs
Staring in silence
I wish the shouting was still happening
Then I could pretend
That we are all okay
