Hear Me

My mind begins to wander
back to days too far past
to hopeful conversations
a hope i thought would last

never once did i perceive
you wouldn't make it out
i always knew you'd leave here
of that i had no doubt

but recently my view changed
i saw a new soul here
one who had lost youthful hope
who's bitterness could seer

you've surrendered to the pull
the hell you hold inside
you've given up on moving
have chosen now to hide

i long for you to waken
to see your other choice
to realize your potential
to hear my helping voice
