Our Secret Language
We had once again found ourselves,
tightly wound and tight lipped,
tucking secrets in at night
Like we used to do as children.
We could see it in his eyes
when the mood had struck.
That ever glaring, empty bottle,
explosive kind of mood.
We learned to communicate
with nothing but our eyes.
A secret sister language,
as words were not always safe
or welcome within these walls.
Walls that pulsated with fear
as he approached with his fist.
We would escape in and out
through windows, locked shut,
leaving behind traces of blood.
We would wait for the sun to rise,
or some nights for the rain to stop,
letting us know the coast was clear.
