Foaming at the mouth like a rabid dog. Enraged, no longer seeing reason just the hurt that you have caused.
Eyes blur as unwanted tears break like a dam overrun.
I want to hit something I have before the door can attest to that. But I refuse to lose that much control I can't, not again.
With slipping fingers I somehow hold the anger back just enough.
walk away nails pressed deep in my palms. Just trying to flee, distance I know I need.
Your daggered words follow shredding even more of my heart.
The anger begs to be let go, pleads for me to fall down the rabbit hole.  
Exhausted the blankets greet my body and the pillow absorbs the sobs.
Anger has lost the fight because I simply can't muster up the will to move.
You are beneath me, who would want you if not me? You're so alone because nobody can stand you.
Your words echo through the silence over and over. The only escape is the dark dreamless sleep that envelops me.
