Would you be there?
"It's dark," she cried —
but no one listened.
She screamed the name
she’d long been missing.
"It's cold," she said —
but no one cared.
She was all alone...
but where?
Too dark to see,
too cold to move.
She wanted to scream —
but at who?
There was no one left
but the wind.
She asked it to stop...
but it didn’t listen.
She is all alone.
She needs a friend.
Would you be there
for her in the end?
