Oscillation


Her shouts claim no answer
and he's used to ignoring
maybe just a trusty shoulder
but he's aware it doesn't last

her fragile mood vacillates
when the weather irritates

Clenched fists hurt the door
threats echo against the walls
and emptiness swallows all
she'll sure soon come down  

her fragile mood oscillates
'cos never's been regulated
