do they hear you when you cry?

do they hear you when you cry?

tears well up in your eyes

gently slides down your cheek,

silent.

do they hear you when you cry?

quiet sobs, small whispers,

                                gaping, gasping for air,

                                gripping hard to all the strength you have left.

do they hear you when you cry?

a hole in your heart,

                a broken soul,

                shattered.

do they hear you?

do they hear you?

                no longer bearing sanity,

                losing all form of clarity.

do they hear you, my love?

    do they hear you when you cry?

when your heart shatters,

when your soul breaks down,

when all that matters to you is you,

do they hear you?

they never heard me.
