Piercing Sound

This is a poem i wrote a long time ago about the Edgar Allan Poe short story ''The Tell-Tale Heart''.


''Piercing Sound''


Under the floor

It stays dormant,

suspicion is gone

It begins to torment.


Sensation is rising

can't perceive if true,

mind dehumanizing 

the punishment's due


A piercing sound

bleeding my ears,

beneath the ground

taking my years.


Its bloody silence

creeping inside,

filled up with violence

the screams that it cried.


It cannot breath

It cannot hear,

lump of raw beef

making me tear.


Such piercing sound

bleeding my ears,

beneath the ground

taking my years.


It cannot speak

It can't perceive,

what's this horrid shriek

trying to achieve?


Awake is the beast

bringing plenty of fear,

the bells of the priest

hint that doom is near.


Such piercing sound

bleeding my ears,

beneath the ground

taking my years.


It's all but a mockery,

It's aching my spine,

watching me suffer,

as I'm grasping my mind.


I am the creature

revealed by my sin,

laying down stiff

the body within.


Dear Piercing Sound,

that has bled my ears,

behind these bars

I'll stay for my years.

i'll write it down in my diary so i can read it offline too because there's something in it that i can't decipher, it's eerie yet comforting?
