A Voice Poem by Christian Taze

If I listen closely, I can hear a voice whispering from the shadows.  It calls to me softly as it hangs among the haunted gallows. 

If I listen closely, I can recognize that the whispering voice is my own. It speaks within my mind for we are so alone. 

If I listen closely, I can hear this voice call out for anyone with an ear to hear. But is swiftly silenced as it drowns within a single tear. 

If I listen closely,  i can hear this voice begging to be heard. But yet no one noticed, not a single word.
