Do You Hear Me? Poem by Holly Heron

Do you hear me call you?
Do you hear me scream?
Do you hear the panic,
The pain,
The yearning?
Do you hear my plea?
Don’t go,
I love you,
Don’t go,
I’m yours,
Don’t go and leave me,
Like many before,
Don’t shut me out,
It’s cold out here,
Don’t shut me out,
It’s dark,
I don’t know what’s out there,
I’ve no where to go,
Don’t take my shield,
My armour,
My cover and pillow,
Do you hear me,
Dying,
Out upon your doorstep?
Do you hear me?
