Surrender

Surrender

I heard it repeating,
that voice in my ear,
andĀ  wondered once moreĀ 
if redemption was near.
It seemed to get louder
then faded away..
No, that’s not redemption
I’m hearing today!

It lingers around inĀ 
my cochlear womb.
Its muted words screaming
in that vacuumed tomb.
I can’t or I don’t
Want to hear it out loud,
I guess it’s unlikely
to make me feel proud

It’s there all the time
with it’s deep throaty hiss,
creepsĀ  inside my thoughts
like an unwelcomed kiss.
Distraction just fails to
keep it’s voice away,
it screams through the night
and most of the day.

It keeps on repeating
demanding a voice,
I’m feeling so weak now
I don’t have a choice.
I bit my lips hard,
it brings tears to my eyes,
andĀ  although I WAS right..
I will Ā apologise!

Ā Really interesting piece and as always with an understandable story..I must be getting old as so often i read stuff and dont have the slightest clue what it's meant to be about!- your pieces, thankfully, are not justĀ  pretentious waffle but actually poetic storytelling .that requires real talent which you have! Enjoyed this very much .
