I closed my eyes and

the rain pounded the walls
it shook
and broke down my surroundings
nothing in reality would bring me back
the damned Grandfather Clock struck
and struck and struck
the only sound left in my world
these new sounds
made me shake
and the tears stung
I held my head by the ears
and sobbed
silently
I can't remember what brought on this endless
overwhelming
despair
but it consumes (me)
