Tap Tap…Tap Tap…
I hear it again
Night after night
It’s the same thing
I awake, to that sound
Something I’ve learned to regret
For many years now
It comes every night
Never giving me quiet
I go and check the door
No one is there
Same as before
Tap tap…tap tap…
There it goes again
A reminder of the darkest of my sins
For Tap tap…tap tap…
That was the sound
That came to my door
The first night
After she’d drowned
I told my Mother
Not to go out to the lake
I wasn’t paying enough attention
When she walked to her fate
I’M SORRY MOM!
I scream night after night
She was out of her mind
Needed to be cared for
Yet, I only cared about
My privacy
Seeing her as a burden
Till, it was too late
She won’t stop knocking
Reminding me
Of her ill fate
How do I know it’s her you ask?
After the tapping at my door
I hear her drowning
Same as that night
A not so friendly reminder
Of my mother’s fate
Tonight though that sound will be replace
Click…
…BANG…
-No More Suffering-
