Dark Curtains
"Yes!"
"No!"
"Brat!"
"I hate you!"
SLAM!
The dark curtains shook as she shut the door.
Locking it was a breeze.
Her dark curtains flew open and there stood a man.
He crawled through the window,
Straight towards the girl.
He kissed away her quiet tears.
She smiled softly…..
Behind those dark curtains,
Quiet tears always fall.
Behind those dark curtains,
A secret love appears.
Behind those dark curtains,
A flower is lost.
Behind those dark curtains,
A child conceived.
Behind those dark curtains,
Daughter becomes mother,
Son-in-law becomes father.
Behind those dark curtains,
New mother and old fight,
While child cries in the background.
Behind those dark curtains,
Becomes stained with blood,
As old mother kills new,
And old father kills the widowed.
Life and death all occur,
Behind those dark curtains.
