A Forlorn Cry

Why can’t you hear my forlorn cry? Its restless desire calls out each night Waiting for you to answer it But you ignore my forlorn cry Only thinking of your own self Why won’t you answer my helpless call? Its feeble sound grows softer each day Hoping you will come to its aid But you ignore my helpless call Not thinking of the pain that burns in me Each time you ignore my forlorn cry You fuel the burning pain I have suffered all my life
