But You Don't Hear Me

prose before bedtime?

Each day i try
Just to get by
I think of you and begin to sigh
My eyes they burn, my heart it cries...

but you don't hear me

Laying alone and awake at night
Dreaming of you and holding my pillow tight
The tears they come while i try to fight
But my heart still cries

And you dont hear me

I try so hard and I pray
To get through each and every day
Without your touch, or smile and say
Ohits alright, I will be ok...
the beat my heart it plays for you every day

But you don't hear me

I speak and my words leave no trace
They bypass you and travel off in space
AS the tears they fall and stream down my face

But you dont hear me

My cries begin to grow fainter till
I'm Fading fast, suddenly now still
No more tears to cry
As my soul it starts to fly...
This flesh to leave - and be let go
No more will i have to suffer so
my last words to speak " i love you so"

but now you CANT hear me....

at the risk of being entirely too flip....Good Night Gracie lol
