Night

There was a fight in the opposite house

As lately as a few months

Screams echoed within the house

On a late weekend night

Heads turned towards the house

A young man emerged

Walked out with the last bit of pride left

Then came a girl

Screaming at him

To get out of her sight

The sound of clashing metal

Resonated through the quite neighborhood

The young man went to his car and left

The girl went back into the house

An interesting sight

A brunette directed her attention back

To her books after a show
