Poe's Pain
What sound is this my soul can hear?
It quakes my very being
A tear upon the curtain of time
That keeps my heart from seeing
Love is just a fading memory
An echo of a dream long past
A reflection blurred between the lines
A promise that didn't last
Has love now changed to endless pain,
Whose screams must go unheard?
My soul cries out for some relief
But no one hears a word
My heart is now a festered sore
An infection now claims my soul
A malignant curse of hollow dreams
That no one can console
Tiny pieces now left behind
Becomes a cancerous stain
Unheard screams trapped in silence
This is the sound of pain
