voice

I hear a voice inside my head

so loud that only I can hear it

it tries to knock my heart

to get inside it, dominate

my heart's insane madness words

I hear a voice inside my head

so silent it is, only my skin can feel

its loud roar, but it's silent roar

I try to hear the voice

but now it's merely a whisper

I hear a voice inside my head

it taps my forehead temples

I groan in pain, the voice stays immune

to the ointments I apply

the hits are strong as a wall hammer

I hear a voice inside my head

it taunts me with the agony

of your voice, it mimics your voice

my tears aren't enough to shoo

the voice away, decibel rate grows

I hear a voice inside my head

it's now more like my voice

it's fluttering in my stomach

hunger it provokes, I thought so!

turns out it is an illusion of being in love

I hear a voice inside my head

it travels through the veins and nerves

fights through the hard pores

messes up as sweats when

I try to talk to you

I hear a voice inside my head

so soothing it is, like a musical wave

I close my eyes as a reflex

only to play the sound

of how you utter my name each time

I hear a voice inside my head

it wakes me up from my sleep

shaken I'm as, equal proportion of

fear of being without you and

absence of your love immixes

I always hear a voice inside my heart

stardust of your voice it is,

hypnotic, captivating my soul,

the only voice I believe in,

and the strength that keeps me going.
