Untitled 2/25/2014 Poem by Andy Caldwell

Hello I call out into the loneliness
and all I hear responding
are echoes of despair
do you hear me are you out there
are you a friend and do you care
no I don't believe there's anyone there
as I look out through through the gray
and see everything the same
this  place is empty and full of pain
welcome here to my domain
everyday is much the same
my hearing gradually fades away
my eyesight gets worse everyday
I'm young for cataracts 
but I'm getting them anyway
taste and touch slowly slip away
I don't understand this awful place
I am neither asleep nor am I awake
but in some dreadful other statement
