In this house
It is silent
Except for the leaky pipe
Pit
Pat
Pit
Pat
The silence interrupted
Over and over
By a simple
Pit
Pat
Pit
Pat
As I lay in agony
Unable to sleep
The water continues to fall
Pit
Pat
Pit
Pat
I plug my ears
I try to ignore
The never ending drip
Pit
Pat
Pit
Pat
I almost swore
But then it stops
Interruptions, no more.
