Can You Hear Me Screaming? Poem by Amber Jones

I give a frightened cry as the door slams shut behind me
Darkness surrounds my soul and chains my heart
This loneliness I feel is nothing compared to the fears and pains that bind me
I could have so much more to live for
But I know there's no way out

Can you hear me screaming
Calling out your name?
My hand is reaching out for you
But you're nowhere to be seen

I give a frightened cry as the door slams shut behind me
Darkness surrounds my soul and chains my heart
This loneliness I feel is nothing compared to the fears and pains that bind me
I could have so much more to live for
But I know there's no way out

So, can you hear me screaming
Calling out your name?
My hand is reaching out for you
But you're nowhere to be seen

Can you hear me screaming
Longing for your love?
You've left me alone and bleeding
Dying for your touch

Baby please believe me
Baby please believe me
Why won't you come back?
I wanna hold you in my arms

You're all that I have left
