A/N-this is a quick one shot I wrote yesterday while listening to "I Feel Everything" by Idina Menzel. I give her all credit! She is an amazing artist. I simply listened to her song and wrote down how I interpreted her message, adding in some things here and there. I encourage you do go listen to "I Feel Everything" by Idina Menzel; it is truly an amazing song! She has so much emotion as she sings you. You can hear her take in a breath of air, almost as if she is going to start crying. Phenomenal! I will post a link to her song on my profile.

Once again, I give her credit! Thank you Idina!

I Feel Everything

I am forced to quietly tip toe around you, like I don't weigh a thing. Like a graceful ballerina, my feet don't make a noise as they lightly brush the floor. I am in constant fear.

I feel everything.

You get home from work and make your way up stairs to our bedroom. I follow a few minutes later, praying you had a good day. I pray you're temper is is under control. I pray you aren't furious because then it would be on me.

I feel everything.

Days later, you come in after midnight. Your body smells of perfume, and not the kind I wear. This isn't the first time.

I feel everything.

Like a trained puppy, I do your tricks, I obey you, hoping, waiting, praying, this will bring us to a better place in our relationship.

I feel everything.

I place one foot in front of the other as I walk around the house, scared one wrong step will set you off. I don't know what will set you off although I've been there several times before. My sleeves and makeup cover up the evidence.

I feel everything.

I come home one night. All the lights are off. The house is black. I slowly close the door behind me and switch on a light. There she is in your shirt standing in my kitchen. You walk in and lay eyes on me. "Get out," you grit through your teeth.

I freeze up. Numb.

I feel nothing.

"Did you not here me?" you yell as you walk towards me. "Get out!" I drop my purse. A burning pain slaps my cheek. Tears soon stain my face.

I feel everything.

"Listen to me! Get out!" your voice rises even more. The pain on my cheek returns. I fall to the ground. "Worthless skank," you laugh. My side begins to burn from the impact of your foot. A few minutes later, you two are upstairs. More tears cascade down my face.

This wasn't the first time this incident had occurred.

And it wasn't the last.

I feel nothing.

You did this to me three more times before I hit my breaking point. You hurt me, and now I look down upon you as you sit there, bars framing your face. I smile from above knowing you got what you deserved. But did I?

I feel everything.
