Leaving Again

Scream, beating the floor, the door
slammed...no more
she cried, he bribed they fought until dawn
over the law, winning, sometimes dying or otherwise
the cries could be heard by the neighbours outside
swore they would not fight again...well they lied!
Following the gaze up and out the window she watched him drive away,
sank down in a heap and gave a sigh of relief...
he was gone, long time about time never
would happen she thought,
and for the rest of the day she cried.
