Your heart will continue to beat,
your blood will continue to claim you.
But, please. Come back to me.

I'm unclaimed, no longer part of this world -
being untethered is all that I am.
How can you continue to breathe when I'm in a different world, banging on the wall between us and begging you to hear me?

Don't you hear me?
Stop looking at what is in front of you and listening to the words that are being said. See the person that's invisible to you and hear their silent pleas.
Don't be purposefully blind.

*I'm right here.
