Reality

I am screaming do you hear me.
I am crying can you feel my pain.
I am yearning for your touch can you hear my body calling you.

You cannot hear my scream because you will not listen.
You cannot see me crying because you turned the other way.
My body calls but you refuse to hear the call.

I stopped screaming for you.
I stopped crying over and for you.
My body and soul refuse to long for your touch.

Now I will sing.
Now I will dance.
Now, I will love.
