Confusion
Screams are coming from across the hall
I run over to see what's going on
You're laying on the couch in the lounge
I hear you say my name through the door
He is playing video games on the floor
We argue for a minute and you walk away
They enter the room and then turn back
She holds in her tears as she yells at them
He sits on the floor and writes quietly
I stand up a walk out of the room
You are sleeping now and I can't wake you
The screams stop and you slam the door
