The mother is hysterical

Out of control

Her malevolent alter ego

Has taken momentary possession of her soul

She’s shouting obscenities

Her shrill voice echoes

In the hollowed unfurnished room

The scene is all too familiar

But every time it evokes fear

Of the impending doom

*Clash*

She smashes a glass

Shards scatter across the floor

She storms off and slams the door

 

The father speaks to her patiently

Firmly

Tries to reason with her

To make her see sense

Convinces her to not take offence

At every action

To not be suspicious

Of everyone’s intention

When she accuses him of unspeakable things

He loses his composure

Raises his voice,

His hand,

BUT stops midway

He can’t do it

He walks away

 

The boy walks down

A flight of stairs

Out of the house

Away from the chaos

His mother’s loud monologue

Faints, as he moves farther

His eyes brim with tears

His limbs collapse

Perhaps,

He’s better off on his own

He cannot live any further

With his mentally unstable mother

I can’t wait any longer

I’ve run out of patience

Left to choose between

Confrontation or avoidance

With no shades of grey

A month’s too far away

Eaten up with curiosity

Maintaining a charade of animosity

Experiencing a gamut of emotions

Endlessly listening to recorded conversations

 

Mind at the edge of chaos

Eyes glued to the ceiling

Awaiting the inevitable answer

Envisioning the worst-case scenarios

Having intrapersonal communication

Wishing it was nothing

But a figment of my imagination

 

I’m a coward

Scared of exhibiting love

Withdrawing

Disappearing

Before I’m in too deep

But I wouldn’t be able to sleep

If you don’t tell me now

Are we over yet?
