Oct 2015
Sound of the engine
Then the gate slams
Footsteps up the path
Sweating on my palms
Key in the lock
Creak of the door
I see it start to open
Am I facing more
Clenching of my hands
White knuckle ride
Frozen, I just sit here
I really want to hide
My heart is racing
Pulse has risen
Clenching my teeth
Will I be forgiven
What became of me
I used to be so strong
My reflection in the mirror
Shows something's wrong
He smiles at me
Asks me about my day
My shoulders relax
Tonight will be okay
