Cross Words

Number One, across

the room from me

You step in, I sense you

Seven - letter word for 

looking, glaring

S-T-A-R-I-N-G

at me, and what have I done

to you this time?

Number One, down

My stomach sinks,

down to the knees that are

Nine - letter word for 

shaking, quaking

T-R-E-M-B-L-I-N-G

so awfully, and 

what have I done?

What have I done 

to you this time?

Here I am, in the corner

Number Two, across

the room from you, and

your eyes, your eyes are

Seven-Letter word for

heating, scorching

B-U-R-N-I-N-G

into me, boring into me, and

what have I done

what have I done 

to you this time?

Over here, over here

Number Two, down

Down on the floor, I'm 

Eight-Letter word for 

weakening, retreating

C-O-W-E-R-I-N-G

in silence, I'm praying

to you, for a clue

Would you give it to me?

Would you?  Would you

help me, tell me

What have I done 

to you this time?

Number Three, across

Across, away, a distance

from me, you're still, you're still

You're Seven-Letter word for 

clutching, pulling

Y-A-N-K-I-N-G

at your scalp.

You're tearing into your hair,

the air, into me

and what have I done,

what have I done 

to you this time?

I can't, I still can't

guess it, can't figure it out

Number-Three, down

down on the floor.

I'm rocking, I'm reeling

I'm thrown into darkness

I'm Eight-Letter word for 

hiding, burying

C-O-V-E-R-I-N-G

my ears

I don't want to hear you

I don't want to hear what 

I've done, what I've done 

to you this time

Just give me a clue.

I can guess it on my own

I am not, I say

I am not Stupid

Number-Four, across

the room from me

your accusations stick, like darts

They stab, I feel

you, Nine-Letter word for

screaming, squawking

S-H-R-I-E-K-I-N-G

at me, angry words, at me

Cross Words, at me

And what have I done

what have I done 

to you this time?

Where do I fit in this puzzle?

I'm under you, under, I'm 

Number-Four, down

down on the floor

I'm below you, I'm trailing

I'm eight, only eight

Letter word for falling, pouring

S-P-I-L-L-I-N-G

my tears, because words

stop making sense, 

because there aren't enough clues

because they don't fit together

because Cross Words can't tell me

how to stop, can't tell me what 

I've done, what I'll do 

to you next time.
