The Bells


Tinnitus 

It’s like it’s not true
Because whatever you say or do
Nobody else can hear
This endless, relentless din
Can’t turn it off or down, can’t win
Only I, am here to hear
The cruelty of the level
Of ringing noise from the devil
Me alone to bear and hear
It seems that nothing can be done
My invisible torturer seems to have won
Everlasting, on my own I hear
Even my husband, gentle as a foal
Hasn’t a clue how it plagues my soul
S’a miracle I can hear over what I hear
There isn’t any actual pain
A constant irritant will still remain
In here,
So near
Sheer noise
I hear
