Anger



She's a little bit drunk
Buzzed; no tipsy.
In a pool of despair she sits
Singing to herself.
Rocking back and forth.
Slowly she rises.
Still singing, the wheels in her head
Are still and she mumbles words only meant for her.

Pacing in her jungle
Her thin wall quakes;
In the after shock  
She screams.
Loud enough to silence the sound of her breaking heart.
Loud enough to drown his voice in her head.
Trying so hard to dispel all of him in her.
Her bloodshot eyes from
The mix of tears, booze and rile;
More intoxicating than he was. 
Scour the room like a search dog.
Panic and the force of pettiness urge her on
While the audience of furniture
Patiently watch.
Her search dog eyes find that which they seek.
Furiously she types and just as furiously she deletes.
The twins; Panic and Petty
Won't have that
Like two demons they goad
Until she gives.
With the draw of breathe
She hits send.
