Hello Are You There?

by Aline   Sep 15, 2004


Hello are you there?
have you left me
to stand here alone
defenseless in this cold world
to watch the walls
close in all around me
from all sides
front, back, left, right, above, below
rescue me from this Hell
before the pressure of it all
leaves me squashed
like a bug in a tissue
being squeezed tightly
in the hands of a young child
listening for the sounds of
bones cracking and organs popping
blood oozing out of all parts of me
help me please
I'm not ready for this
my skin is not fire proof
keep away from the fire
and the fast enclosing walls
before it is too late
hello, are you there?
please don't leave me
I need someone
to guide me, hold me
and lift me up
away from the terrors of this world
can you be that person?
tell me
before I jump
