Did you forget me? <br />Did you overlook my crying heart <br />as it tried to reach out in the dark; <br />tentatively it stretched out one hand <br />more than a finger less than an arm; <br />did you see it? <br /> <br />Did you feel my tear? <br />Just one small drop, it did not leave <br />this wet eye, too frail to be displayed; <br />to quiet to make a splash <br />dried in the wind before sunshine <br />sparkled its surface; <br />did you feel it? <br /> <br />Did you hear my call? <br />The one I shouted but without voice <br />the one that never left my mouth; <br />and sounded so loud here <br />and so quietly everywhere; <br />did you hear it?<br /><br />David Taylor<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/cry-for-help-7/
