I Don't Want To Go Home

by Nicole M. - Gemini

I'll just stay here
And piddle around
Spending time
That I don't have to spend there
The less-the better.
Walking slowly to my car
I give it double the time
It should take to be ready.
I don't want to go home
I can't take another night
Of what's waiting for me

Maybe he'll be passed out dead
Or maybe just dead
Oh God! I didn't mean it!
Did I
With liquor on his breath
Will words come flying at me
Or will he just wrap his arms around me
And make unconcentual love to me.
Approaching the drive
I don't slow down
Just keep going
Past our street 
And past our town
Into a whole other state
Now I'll never have to dread
Going home.
