| Desperation |
| Here I am, alone again... waiting... For who? Or what?--I've forgotten. Silence--cold and dead-- creeps around me... An unseen phantom. Listlessly, I toy with the brightly colored Beads that dangle Around my neck. Pink, blue, and green-- They glitter and they shine-- A reminder of happier times... Isn't it funny how such a Little thing could hold my attention For so long? Other people walk around me... Will they speak to me? I hope so... I'm so empty... No... they just walk on by... Please!... Stop!... my heart screams... Talk to me! One kind word! I need you! Can't you see? I'll be your friend if you'll let me! Please!... I'm begging you! Pull me out of this abyss... I'm suffocating...drowning... Please don't leave me here to whither away.... |
