are you

still there?

I’m sorry I’ve kept you wondering,
Sorry that I can’t be
what you wanted.

are you

still there?

I’m sorry I’ve kept you waiting,
Believe me I’ve been waiting
a lifetime and a half for this to end.

are you
still there?

Because I feel so alone now,
so broken how,
Can you go on without feeling?
Without breathing and thinking?

are you
still there?

I think I know now.
Presently, I am alone,
But once you were always with me.
