Never Answer

Why do you never answer
When I call
Never reply
When I scream for help

Maybe it's because
My screams are just
Soft whimpers that you can't hear
That get drowned out
By the noise of everyday life

Maybe it's because you don't care
Maybe you hear the screams
You see the pain
But you turn away
Because you don't want to deal with this
Pathetic mess of
Tears and blood
That you know is a hopeless cause

Maybe you don't hear
Maybe you don't care
Maybe you don't know what you're meant to be listening for
But you never answer
When I call
