Poems

Hear

08-22-2020

I sit in the dark alone
Alone in my room in the darkness 
Waiting to talk to you.

I hear screams from our past 
I see help in those eyes 
You see rage in them.

I rewind myself to today 
I’m not longer in the past 
I came back to the darkness 

A door opens and I see the light 
Suddenly I’m in 2015 
Where we lived in front of this house 

I see smiles in the three of you 
I see laughter but no problems only mine 
I see happiness and the darkness surrounds me 

Came back to today 
Where I’m still not heard 
Where I’m alone once again 

If only people could hear 
If only you could hear 
If only she could hear

Hear screaming inside my heart
See pain inside my eyes 
If only you could hear me.
