That Sound (Part 1)

by Christie   Dec 26, 2006


The utter desperation, the sobs and lies,
Cant be heard over that sound.

The purposeful mind games, over screeching and screaming,
Cant be heard over that sound.

The agonizing silence pierced by threatening words,
Cant be heard over that sound.

The absence of love, shown by anger and hate,
Cant be heard over that sound.

The secret of a family almost falling apart,
Cant be heard over that sound.

Nothing can be heard over that sound.

My family was fighting in the car. It was raining outside. That sound was the rain hitting the roof. And that sound was what I concentrated on, what kept me going. I wanted nothing to be heard over that sound.
