Screams that never come

 

I thought it had stopped,

the unnerving grind

inside my mind,

the terrifying hum,

those rumbled internal echoes

of screams that never come.

I thought it was done.

Gone. Never to return.

I thought I was free

to listen to the tweeting birds,

without that infernal sound

making my head squirm.

 

I thought it had ceased.

The insect sound

of some long forgotten

ancient beast,

the buzz of a million bees

drilling into my cranium.

I thought I was free

to listen to the breeze

but now the hum is back

and I'm down on my knees.

 

I thought it had stopped

like the hands on my clock

once they hit the top.

I thought it long gone.

For so long the bells hadn't rung.

I didn't expect to hear the hum.

I thought that terrifying nightmare

had been and gone,

seen me weep and said, so long.

How wrong I was.

The hum was back

like a slow-release curse.

The hum was back

and it was ten times worse.
