A lot was said that night



They came home from office
both too exhausted to fight
poured themselves a drink
a lot was said that night

In their tipsy state they taunted
subtle roasts were exchanged 
poured themselves another drink
a lot after that night changed

In their resentment they lied
said their love for each other died
poured themselves a third drink 
‘marriage vows’ secretly cried 

In their egoistic state they fought
and neither of them won 
as they emptied a fourth glass down their throat
the heaviness fell upon their son 

In their utterly drunken state 
absurd arguments turned into fight 
as their son fearfully trashed bottles
a lot was 'heard' that night

That Night One of my first and oldest memories dates back to when I was a preteen. It gives me full-body shivers to think about even today, as an adult.  It was a no moon night. As fate would have it, the entire town had a power outage. This particular night also happened to be the first time my parents let me live home alone while they were out for work. I remember shivering intensely. Tears rolled down my cheeks when I couldn’t even get myself to muster enough courage to grab a jacket. I had my head buried in my hands when my eyes caught the sight of something unfamiliar. At first, it was hard to know if it was just my sleep deprived self making up visions or something really was up.  As I inched closer to the broken wall, I figured it wasn’t broken after all.  It didn’t exist anymore! Kid you not, by this time I had lost control over my limbs. They simply felt like a few lifeless grams of flesh.  And I had a fair reason to feel that way! It’s not everyday you see...
