I hear you
tinnitus

you that follow me
when silence is to be

my friend and foe
tinnitus
you scream in your high pitched ways
each day
each night
each waking moment

I listen to you
i've come to accept you
being my noise companion

as long as I live
you shall never quiet down
you will never fail
I will live my life
from this day and until my last

you will continue
with no pause or hesitation

as I will grow older
your tune will sharpen
be more available
to pitch this stream of screeches

I wonder
when I am dust
sprinkled at sea
will you disperse with me
who will listen
to you then

Dear tinnitus
I lend you my ears
forever more
