Echoes

echoes of emotion 
permeate the room 
from wall to wall 
can you not hear it? 
screaming, shrieking 
clamoring to be heard 
falling on deaf ears
no one hears, responds 
except for me 
like the Tell-Tale Heart 
I hear every sound 
but can not react 
why no response 
from the crowd?
they must hear it
the breaking of my heart 
the rending of my soul 
the turmoil of my spirit 
and yet they leave 
saying their good nights
leaving me alone with the pain 
leaving me alone
