Still Here
< center>
I want to ask of my family
I want to plead to those who are near
Please don’t look straight through me
For I know that I’m still here
Acknowledge my being
Let me know I exist
Please hear my pleading
Please let my presence persist
Tis as if I have no essence
Tis Your disengagement that I fear
Please see and feel my presence
I may be passed…but I’m still here
I try to touch…
Reach to caress…
But you can’t sense my lips
to yours softly pressed
Tis as if I have no essence
Tis your disengagement that I fear
Please, see and feel my presence!
I’m so cold… but I’m still here.
I’m so lonely…but not for long
can you not yet feel the chill?
For very soon you’ll join me
I’m cold …but I’m here still
