I listened until the ringing faded,
I watched as the lights burned out,
I turned as they began to yell,
I closed my eyes as tears began to fall.
I listened to the moaning and sighing,
I watched my nightmares swear they would end this,
I turned against harsh words,
I closed my hands upon cold steel.
I listened for subtle worries to be expressed,
I watched the surroundings fumble when they pass,
I turned as the fucked finally get dressed,
I closed my mind when it all stops.
