The infernal hum

 


Some seeds you shouldn't sow.

Those fields overgrown

with gnarly weeds of misery

are all that will show

for the work you've done.

All of the energy, been and gone

because you listened to the

eerie sound of the dreaded hum.

 

Sometimes we wade too deep,

into places our legs shouldn't be.

Into lakes of misery.

Once you realise you've misread the maps,

the coast isn't close, the boat is capsized

and you’re floating too close

to the edge of reality.

You end up feeling all lost at sea.

That is when the sound begins

to echo around menacingly.

 

It pervades your sleep,

invading your dreams,

bringing with it

torment and hate

to anyone that breathes.

Once inside, it never leaves,

an unwanted guest

that stays for eternity.

The hum rings out internally

just as ferociously

as it does externally.

 

It becomes part of your day,

taking over the voice in your head.

"Let us feed" you hear it say.

It wants to drain all goodness away,

it wants you dead.

Making a meal of your life,

a little piece at a time,

but when you listen

to the voice in your head,

telling you

that these places are home,

it's hard not to hear

the infernal moans.
