Panting

Screaming

I feel like crying

And think of dying

If only for the sweet reprieve

And the tunnel’s light that shines

It plays again

This soul-biting melody

The song forever haunting

The lullaby never ending

The wordless lyrics bite at my heart

Leaving scar after scar

The lilting notes bring images to my eyes

The tears constantly flow

As I cry

These hot summer days

Feel empty and unending

When you’re not with me
