Echoes

Keys in a door send shivers up my spine,

Even now,

Even mine.

The air went deathly still when you got home,

Dinner in my room again,

Alone.

It’s your fault I cannot stand the smell of beer,

Even now,

Even here,

The odour settles in my throat and chest as fear.

All the light escaped when you got back,

The sparkle in her eye,

Would fade to black.

Hearing an apology still makes me flinch,

Even now,

Ever since.
