I am speaking without words.

Pleading with my eyes.

But you don’t seem to see it.

Crying out for help

But no rope is thrown,

Down into my despair.

You could have been my person.

The one I could always count on.

Too bad you couldn’t see it.

Couldn’t see the pain in my face,

The anguish in my breath.

Or could you?

Could you hear my cries for help?

Did you ignore them like everybody else?

Did you turn a blind eye?

Maybe I wanted you to see it,

Wanted you to care.

Maybe I wanted it too badly.
