Listen

Hear me

I'm begging you to just 

Hear me

I'm telling you

I am not speaking Latin

Hear me

Listen to me

I am on my knees- I'd do anything just

Hear me

Can you save me

I'm hiding from myself

Hear me

I'd ask if I could

Please listen with another sense

Hear me

If I could ask outright

I would, so

Hear me

I begged when the rope

called my name

Hear me

I screamed for help

When my feet had left the floor

Hear me

When I hung there

Mid-air

Hear me

Too late

Someone came. They didn't

Hear me

They all said: What a tragedy! Why did this happen?

They couldn't

Hear me

Even now

I cry and ask:

Hear me

No one

ever

Heard me
