Echoes
echoes of emotion
permeate the room
from wall to wall
Can you not hear it?
Screaming, shrieking
Clamoring to be heard
Falling on deaf ears
No one hears, responds
Except for me
Like the Tell-Tale Heart
I hear every sound
But can not react
Why no response
From the crowd
They must hear
It is the breaking of my heart
The rending of my soul
The turmoil of my spirit
And yet they leave
Saying their good nights
Leaving me alone with the pain
Leaving me alone
