Notes About The Poem

Listen

Did you hear me once calling
In the middle of cold dark nights
Did you hear me whisper
I long to feel you by my side.

Quiet nights, shed in tears
Hear my voice as I scream
I can bare all these pains
Can you come tonight and stay?

I can hardly breathe 
I'm suffocating
I'm drowning
Hear me calling.

Can you hear me
Can you come near
Can  you hold me
Can you stay, tonight?
