What is this thing
oh wretched thing
silence that shatters the ears
i lay and listen to my broken heart
devoid of sound
your symphony is lost from it
my teas sing along
shaky notes spilling out
my breath pulls at my stitches
seams of trying to forget you
time is standing still
my heart, the watch
dusty, forgotten
it's wind-up key lost
my mind racing with this thing
oh wretched thing
silence that shatters my ears.
