LISTEN
I can hear it now
Loud, violent and unceasing
Voices like bits of shrapnel flying
Hitting hard like hardened raindrops
I can hear it now
Deadly tongues shaped like knives
Unsheathed blades with serrated edges
Cutting slow, cutting deep, bleeding my veins
I can hear it now
Above the noise, the gruesome din
Whispers echoing madly in my ears
Since you walked away
I can hear it now
The once-muted wails and mockery
Enemies behind the line gaining courage
The world crashing, my soul in rubble left
I can hear it now
Even as I drown slowly in nostalgia
Stranded in a bizarre snow like a lost wolf
Alone in a love affair meant for two
