Echoes in the Dark
Did I make a sound?
Falling into the darkness
Screaming loudly,
While everyone was passing by
Did they hear me?
Was I not loud enough or
Did they just not care?
As each day passes by
I fall further and further away
Hoping someone hears
Hoping someone notices
Hoping someone cares...
But no one turns.
No one stops.
No one reaches out.
I reach anyway,
Hands empty,
Heart heavy,
Voice fading
Into the same silence
That follows me everywhere.
And I keep falling.
Still screaming.
Still hoping.
Still waiting.
