Hearing Damage (Original)

The vase dropped,
The water splashed,
The flowers,
They slowly began to die.

A loud thud,
It exponentially grew,
The fears, slowly multiplied,
I was hearing damage.

Another table fell,
Just like my dreams,
Look where they landed!
I was hearing damage.

I allowed it; subliminal.
Everything was loud,
I was hearing damage,
My heart was the loudest.

  1. The idea of "hearing" damage is such a unique and interesting concept.
    The last two stanzas are specifically powerful. I could really feel the enigma of damage "exponentially" growing, and things falling apart. A very strong and resounding piece. I loved it...
