I am alive
I am alive                                   
In part because of you
Your face is still a blank
A mystery
I never saw

Your voice
On the phone
Every week

‘How do you feel?’
There was no face to judge
‘Have you thought about hurting yourself?’
Direct
‘Can you keep yourself safe?’
Crucial
Questions no one cared or dared to ask
Did they really want to know?
‘Yes, I hope so’

Your voice kept me alive
And you never even saw my face

I hope you know how grateful I am
I hope one day I can tell you
