Pain
Do you hear it?
In the middle of the night!
Screetch, screetch!
Tap, tap!
It never stops,
tick tock, tick tock
It never sleeps,
It never leaves...
There it is again!
Boom, boom!
Scratch, scratch!
It never heals.
And yet, it never stops!
Bam, bam!
It still screams!
How cruel,
How vile.
What a horrid little creature!
It goes on incessantly through the night!
How disruptive,
How amazing.
What a wonderful work of art!
I become fascinated by it.
In the middle of the night,
As this creature comes closer and closer...
The noises begin to subside
Little by little, shhhh, shhhh!
It whispers my name, calling me
Every night, daunting me!
Tragedy? Reality?
It smiles maliciously at me.
It enjoys my company
and only I can tame it.
Only I can embrace it.
Only I can make it go away.
It's in my hands,
This horrible, fascinating creature!
Yes, little one, shed your darkness upon me...
For this will be your last chance.
Tap, tap it goes softly.
Fading, fading...
Gasping for breath...
No longer does it haunt,
No longer does it taunt!
Its blood on my hands.
Its blood ever-tainting my soul.
But it is gone, forever gone...
And finally, I am free to dream my own dreams!
Tap, tap...
