Each time the ear
is victimized
by assault of noise so loud,
it leaves a ringing
in the head--
a tone is lost--a loss profound.
If this happens
regular--
should drum of ear be raped by waves--
total deafness
can occur--
and music is a dirge of grave.

I thought of this
and thought of you--
how each day I'm less surprised--
how oaths of love
now ring untrue--
I bury bits of us that died.

Tears (now rare) catch me off-guard.
I am bitter, cold, and hard.
Remember, please,
you wrote these rules
when I am deaf
to cries from you.

Damn, do I ever understand this! And am more grateful than I can say that certain people no longer live under my stairs...lol.

Forgetting all I'm lacking
Completely and complete

You take all of me

Whoah, I have *so* definitely been there. Though somehow he can't understand that I *am* now deaf to him. Y'd think a year would be enough, huh?
