Can You Turn the Faucet off?

Drip, drip,
a rhythmic tale
the house whispers in anxiety's defense
a story untold, a narrative 
within its walls 
Voices barge through 

A subtle prompt, a dual-edged sword
both plaguing and soothing, 
tension unfolds
a soft refrain, arousing thought,
inviting contemplation

The faucet's gentle murmur, a tormentor's lullaby 
nature's hushed secrets, a relentless throng
a constant stir,
begging for release
(make it stop)

Drip, drip
a reverie, 
a liquid muse of despair
disclosing secrets, 
emotions laid on the kitchen counter
with every drop, muffled weeps
anxiety's relentless call

In deep caverns of the soul
echoes linger
where sound patiently navigates
sculpting stones,
a haunting embrace.

Yet,
is it merely water's voice we discern,
or do our hearts yearn something more profound?
a metaphor - perhaps
a symbol within the mist
the voices persist

This is the writer's odyssey
each word a journey, a narrative intent
the water guides a silent ballet
persisting through 
night and day

So, let the play advance
break this dire existence
release the torrent of emotions

Drip, drip
"can you turn the faucet off?"
