Ignore

They're back from all night partying Left relatively happy return in a frenzied rage She's in first // locks the door We hear him He's outside our window banging....begging ''Please let me in...it's cold out here.'' we ignore him. ''If you touch that window I'll break your arm! '' She says as she stands backlit in our doorway almost resembling an angel we pretend we're sleeping ''He'll kill us all if he gets in here! '' We muffle our cries with our wet pillow that never has the chance to dry out from the previous nights. The musty smell fills our nostrils drowning out the sounds filling our ears ''PLEASE let me in! I promise I'll go right to bed! '' Ignore him. He begs, pleads, even cries......to get in. We love him...but, she's said he'll kill us he said he won't but, she probably will if we let him in. Whimpering outside the window... we ignore him. It's 3: 45 a.m. School comes too early... although it's a welcomed escape. Once home from school it's never mentioned. I walk by my parents... ignore them.
