Do you hear it? That sound.
That deafening sound.
That GHASTLY unnerving sound!
Is it the clock which mocks
Every last beat of my heart? No.
Is the sound a Shrill
A cry or moan?
A sound that I know
Well enough alone? No!
What is the sound
Which I must - I MUST drown?
Oh God in Heaven!
What is that unhindered noise?
Is there none to rid that horrid tone?
The tone which
Makes all madness known?
The sound that drives a good man mad
The noise that to my misery add?
What is the theme
That brings me to screams
But SILENCE?
