"Hello, are you there?"
"....."
"Hello?"
"....."
"You ARE there!"
"....."
"Come on, come on out!"
It's not like I'm going to hurt you,
It's not like I'm going to kill you cleanly.
But I'm just curious why you content yourself there...
It's not that the world's unfair
It's not that life is suffering
Things happen the way you just don't expect them to...
Come on, open your eyes
and see the flowers
Come on, open your ears
and hear the music
come on, open your heart
and see what life has to give
No one wants to be hurt
No one wants the rain
And you can contain more joy
in the groove made by pain
What? You're still afraid?
What? You don't want courage?
Are you sure? I've got plenty to spare...
So, all right, I'll leave you alone,
So, all right, I'll just go away,
But, remember if you need someone, just call...
"Hey, I'm going now..."
"....."
"Hey, I may not always be here, okay?"
"....."
"Hey, I may not always answer..."
"....."
"Hey...? .... Good bye..."
"....."
(Gentle thud of a door closing)
"...... wait...."
(silence)
Notes : This is the first time I've ever used sound effects in a poem. I like this one, personally.
