Help Me, Please!

Help me please - I'm all alone
I'm trapped inside this hole!
The pitch dark, humid, Hellish one
no ladder, rope, or pole.

I'm screaming bloody murder now
and scratching at the side,
but only bloody fingers yield
with broken, mourning cry...

No one hears me. No one cares.
Mud puddles at my feet.
I'm staring, blank-eyed, in Chaos's heart -
my emptiness complete.

To fathom that I won't get out
and rot here in my sweat,
is all a lie! It HAS to be
my fate can't be here yet.

I draw a breath. It rattles, shakes
the riveting realization
the breath lets out in roar and rush
a defeated exclamation!

I crumple up beside the wall;
slide down my mudded gate
clench my jaw and bang my fist
into my concrete fate

Ominous peace settles in,
my arms locked round my knees.
Endless cries fade out my mouth,
I'm moaning, "Help me, please."

I close my eyes and taste my tears,
my arms locked 'round my knees.
I'm slowly rocking back and forth,
a whisper, "Help me, please."

It almost seems that someone cares
with arms locked 'round my knees.
I hold my breath to hear my heart
while mouthing, "Help...me...please."
