Dead Silence Poem by Ben mcelfresh

Doors slamming all around me
The screams don't stop
My eyes tear up
I wonder how much more i can take

The open wounds are seen
Fresh blood dripping slowly
Leaving stains behind
Of a night ruined by a poison

Thoughts all jumbled up
Nothing comes out right
Or does it?
Do you speak lies or truth when your mouth opens?

There's no escaping the sounds of the night
Over and over the screams are louder
Echoing throughout every room
To what end will you go?

Just a moment of peace is all i ask
So i speak to my parents
In the brief moment they talk back
Finally there's dead silence.
