Grace

Grace, can you hear me?

Grace, can you hear me, when I cry?

I tried so hard,

Left my mark on your heart.

I have fallen so far beyond;

What is normal?  What is life?

I just can’t tell you;

I just can’t tell you anymore.

So won’t you tell me, with or without?

Inside or out?

All of my loving words, you say you have never heard before;

You never hear me when I knock on your door.

I need you to see me;

I need you to see me as I fall,

Beyond this world into the abyss of an unanswered call.

Can you see me as I am crawling up this wall?

Can you see me?

How can you hear me, when we don’t talk?

I talk to your ears only.

I whisper to you softly,

I am here; do you still need me?

Do you still see me?

Do you still see me break?

Do you still see me, or am I just another empty face?

A ghost of love,

A hand to touch;

When all is dark inside my life, I want to see you.

I want to see you for what you are;

You are my hopeless love.

A truth so real it leaves me, touched.

I really hear you;

I really need to see you smile,

But you can’t hear me or see me,

Walking away as I leave you behind,

To words of numbers never dialed.
