I sat down,

a small bag of popcorn in hand.

A big jug of water, too.

The movie blares out in front of me.

The girl's crying,

I pick up a piece of popcorn.

They're yelling now,

mouths forming intricate positions,

eyes blazing hotter than a rapid fire.

I place the popcorn on the tip of my tongue,

dragging it in,

entrapping it to darkness.

Glass is shattered,

the girl walked out.

I drink down two gulps of water.

The man grabs her arm

yanking her back.

I dig my nails into the rugged skin on my side.

It's silent.

They stare at each other.

My skin brakes.

Red liquid fills my nails.

And they kiss,

the man muttering words of apologizes to her.

But it's a lie.

We know it's a lie.

But she's fine

she's fine

She'll be fine.
