Living On Eggshells

Ally

She walks on shards a silent tread 

Across the floors, so cold and bare

A web of fear inside her head

A heavy weight she has to bear

 

His anger a dark, swirling cloud

Hangs low, a threat she can't ignore

Her voice a whisper, never loud

Afraid to open the door 

 

Each step she takes a cautious plea 

To not disturb the fragile peace 

A yearning for tranquility 

A silent wish for sweet release 

 

The glass surrounds a brittle cage

Revealing sorrow in her eyes

She fears turning a page

Breathe the weight of the silent skies
