I wish I could go in person
to check
to see if you're lying
to see if you're just pretending
only playing tricks
and that you haven't seriously gone
to another place
where my powers cannot reach
you

I wish I could ask somebody
to check
to see if you're still alive
to see if you're breathing
only silently
and not because you're reaching
for a higher ground
than the one we can offer you
here
