Will you listen?

can you hear me?

is anybody there 

will someone listen 

to what i have to share 

it may not be familiar 

to what you know 

it may frighten you 

then off you go 

Please come 

listen to what I have to say 

I know you are busy 

but i'm not okay 

This pain that resides 

is burning away 

the love is diminishing 

day after day

One day you'll remember 

and tell me you're here 

you'll manipulate your words 

and pretend you care

And I'l turn around and say 

'thanks, I've made it 

without you near'
