Ode to My Ear

Such a miracle it is
To be able to hear
Audio images, melodies
Conducted by my ear

What control it has on me
Heart, body and all
Drowsiness, tenderness
All from something so small

I have sabotaged it
Now it retaliates
Scornful, torturing
My actions, it dictates

Can’t touch it, don’t try
Mobile renders useless
I twist, I turn
Destined to be sleepless

It has a heartbeat
I know it loves me
But can it stop
As its love just hurts me

It’s red, hot, and unbearable
Swollen, like a balloon
I wish, I yearn
For it to get well soon

This poem was written only because i'm sick and tired of my ear. I had my left ear pierced twice and the 'higher' piercing is now infected so it hurts like hell! Doc says it will get better within a few -hopefully short!- days :)
