Sounds To Sleep By

 

The sirens pierce through me like a sharpened dagger

something is smoldering in this small corner of my city

the neighborhood is dowsed in dark and treacherous acts

I sit on my bed wondering which direction their coming from

should I duck from the window, will this be the night that a

stray bullet rips through my flesh like a hungry angry violent

virus.

The same virus that has claimed so many lives young and old

too many to count to this date, WHAT IS THIS S**T!!!

I thought I was immune to the sounds. I hear them all the time

While I watch TV, when I eat , as I write, in my sleep……..

For some reason tonight is different tonight I feel it too

damned deep…. through my thick skin as it penetrates

my soul seeping through my lungs,stiffling the fears I

can no longer express unable to scream.. STOP !!!

Tonight I feel it just too damned deep .
