Can you hear my cry?

She lay silently uttering loud pleas

Of you should have heard me!

You should have heard me scream out silently to you,

To please listen

Just take a moment to listen.

You walked by every time

With not a glance let alone a hello

Laughing with your friends was your way

Of letting me know you were around.

I wept each time I saw you, remembering

Our friendship so long forgotten by you.

Now she spoke louder than she ever did to you

She screamed it and now you heard

The, I love you’s, I need help!

Now you listen and comprehend.

I longed to speak to you

To hold your hand and freely speak

Cause you, only you understood. Don’t you?

No, I guess I was wrong.

For had you understood, had I been right,

You would have listened, you would have heard

I wanted to just be heard, heard by you

But your silly games and not-so-real friends

Became your priority

And I was just a minority in your glamorous life

You now heard every tear

Felt every strand of anger and

Witnessed every ounce of pain.

She slept peacefully. It seemed like the last time

You were together talking, laughing, joking.

But she would hold you back.

She was of no class and you wanted more

This was it, you knew

This was your doing and you knew

Had you heard her evident cries

You wouldn’t be witnessing her peaceful

Everlasting slumber.

Evident in her walk so small and mute

Almost non-existent and you wanted it that way

Silent no-more. She now screams

You should have heard my cries, you should have!
