A Family

Partly inspired by Doctor Who's the Master.
Can you hear it?
The drum beat.
The
Never
Ending
Drum
Beat
of sanity forgotten.
of reason lost.

Can you hear it?
The hearbeat.
The heartbeat of love
Lost in time.
Killed by life.

Can you hear it?
The backseat.
The prison of the child
Held in place
Trapped in space
Nonexistent with shouts
Resonating with silence.

Can you hear it?
All the screams that
Never made it
Out of the earphones
Through the throbbing
To the lips
Holding in
Insanity lost
and
Reason remembered.
