Rain.

The rain falls outside
Wetting all the ground
All is completely quiet
Even animals don’t make a sound

The houses on the block
Are lined in a row
All look quiet and peaceful
But they all have something to show

The lights are off
In all but one
Cause something is going on
Something bad has been done

For in this house
The rain does poor
Its thick and heavy
And blocks the door

All you hear is shouts
Foul things said aloud
Things meant to hurt
Pushing buttons they have found

Crashes and bangs
Caused by things being thrown
Anger rises in the veins
Judgement is not shown

Upstairs in a room
A door is shut tight
Trying to drown out the sound
Of this terrible fight

Inside this room
A sound is playing
Its worst than the last
And it keeps replaying

A girl is behind it
Sitting in a chair
Rocking back and forth
Wishing she wasn't even there

The sound comes from her eyes
From the falling tears
Its piercing through the room
Telling all her fears

The sound of them fighting
Cuts through her brain
Louder than the crashing wind
Its making her go insane

Not even in her room
The one safe place she's got
Can she get away from the shouts
Of this thickening plot

She tries to sleep
But all she hears is screams
The fights are in her head
They play even in her dreams

She's tried to get away
From this awful place
But every attempt has failed
That's why smiles never reach her face

The fights continue
Filling her with pain
The tears they do fall
Just like the pouring rain.
