A Crackle in My Ear

Sorry sorry,
I swallow in fear
and the sound crackles
an echo, In my ear

my shallow breath quickens
my stomach churns
acid rises
causes a burn

my heart beats a presence
an exaggerated thud
pulsating through
the thickening blood

I scream in silence
no-one can hear
sat in the trap
year upon year

all of this triggered
by a single sound
hidden away
a memory found

I package and wrap
and address it to you
times best forgotten
make way for the new.
