A rope hangs
I stay to watch as it swings in time to the rapid beating of my heart
It swings carelessly in the draft coming from under the door
My hand reaches to feel the rough texture
The air shifts
Eventually
I turn away
A knife glints
I stand still and see the water slide to the end of the blade
The droplets seem to follow my breaths
I try to collect my racing thoughts
My mother calls
Eventually
I turn away
A gun sits
I stare down the barrel just to look
The shape mocks me in ways I don't understand
My whole body is effected by the weight of the weapon
The phone rings
Eventually
I turn away
The house shakes
As do I
His demeanor is threatening
Her intentions menacing
My head is confusing friendship for manipulation
Their words pierce my skin
Eventually
I wonder how long I'll keep turning away.
