Can You Hear Me?

27th March 2015 By 0 142

By Darragh Kempson

Can you hear me?

–

Listen, I know you’re there but I can’t quite reach you.

I just want to help,

Sometimes you have to let someone in,

Talk to me please

Even for a little while.

Now I’m here, we can talk.

–

Can you understand me?

 –

I know there’s still no response, but I’ll keep trying.

Maybe if I shout I’ll get through.

 –

Can you listen to me?

 –

Here I am, just listen to me please.

Everything will be ok, but we have to work together,

Right now, all that matters is getting you out,

Everything is going to get better.

 –

Can you help me?

 –

I need you to help me,

This time we need to do it together,

Listen to me,

Let me help you.

–

Can you do this with me?

 –

Better the two of us, than one alone.

Even the worst night is better with you.

 –

Can you stay with me?

–

Over the last hurdle now, just push that little bit further.

Keep with me now, we need to stick together.

–

Can you hear me, because we made it out, Together.
