you hear his laugh
every time you scrape
that broken paper clip
across your shoulder.
you hear it
every time that sigh
escapes your lips
as your eyes close
you hear it
every time the needle
pierces your skin
you hear it as you collapse
you hear it as you hear
yourself scream
in agony
you hear it as you breathe
and it will be the last thing you hear
before your eyes close
for eternity
because it haunts you every waking breath
every sleeping thought
it invades your mind
and it plagued your nightmares
you'll hear it as you watch
your face crumble
you will hear it as he kills you
without ever touching you
