You scream help

but no one listens

absence only lingers

pushing at your bones



tears become waterfalls

descending into muffled cries

you grab at your seams

scratching away the rose colored stains



please hear me

I'm falling into my own despair

my own defeat

I'm going under

so won't somebody hear me



Scathing cold eyes

bore into the black abyss

awaiting the silent terrain

of each ticking moment



You shutter violently

trembling before your pain

the lines scorch your skin

as they burrow deeper and deeper



Please hear me

I'm falling into my own despair

my own defeat

I'm going under

so won't somebody hear me



Pleading and needing

a sound to escape

this wanting desire

just aches to be made

I'm crawling inside

my heart beating along

please hear me someone

for I'm not alone



Please hear me

I'm falling into my own despair

my own defeat

so won't somebody hear me

please, won't somebody hear me
