One More Time

DRONE

                                                                  

you don't surprise me.
i've known you were hovering overhead
for quite some time now.
so predictable
i find it curious i can forget about you ~
forget that you exist.

you never forget about me though
do ya, mate?
patient as the devil's breath
& twice as rank,
you wait your turn
til you can turn my days to darkness
& my heart into 
a broken stone.

who do you think you are?
scattering yourself across the millions of victims
desperate for relief . . . 
we've searched for solace in every nook & cranny 
& substance known to man
but you're relentless as a vicious wind
that steals life from our hand.
