How many words do you need
to hear me say, “Hello?”
How many times do I have to
listen to hear you say, “Hello?”
What do I have to do
to let you know I am weak at times?
Can you hear my tears on
the phone?
Can you feel how my eyes
burn of pain?
“Hello” means as much as
it says
…though my silence could mean
that I’m being mean
A dedication was made to you
in a way that could never be
forgotten
And, in case you forgot
the World heard it
Loud and Clear
To say I need peace and silence
slaps many when all I have ever
known was chaos
Then, he became my best friend
Then, I found my greatest mistake
Do you still need to
hear me say, “Hello?”
I may have to say it with my
head hung low
But just in case I forget
just find chaos
and you will find my voice
And in a brief, steady whisper
you will hear me say, “I’m sorry”
as you bid me farewell
…Though it will be only that
part of my living that is over
How many words do you need
to hear me?
