Did She Hear You?

Did she hear you

when you called out her name?

Did she hear you

when you cried out in pain?

Did she hear you

or did she ignore

the way you did

when you walked out her door?

Lonely

sitting on your bed.

Lonely

but with voices

screaming in your head.

If only

things were left unsaid.

Drafty windows

and drafty doors

laughing people

and open sores.

Magic wonders

that never cease

a band of drummers

who can't find peace.

You shout in pillows

and cry in showers

you drink alone

for what seems like hours.

The telephone rings

a familiar tune

but you don't answer

it’s too soon.

You see her numbers

on display

and beg to remember

what you want to say.

Did she hear you

when you called out her name?

Did she hear you

when you cried out in pain?
