the loud

Did we make it?
Did the darkness of those echoing hallways turn to light?

The pounding of my screeching heart.
The trembling of limbs chattering against the floor.

Did it all get better?

Slamming of doors, 
Shouts causing your ears to shatter.
The red roses matching the colour displayed amongst their cheeks.

Their once happy marriage now filled with anger and resentment.
Their next choices unclear. 

When will it get better? 
Please tell me it gets better…

Please.
