I speak
and you don't hear.
All I said
went right through your ears.

I cry
and you don't see.
a river of tears
but you don't care about me.

My skin is blue
you touch my arm
No heartbeat!
I am no longer warm.

In shock and disbelief
you wonder why you didn't see the signs
then you cry out loud -
why didn't she tell me she hurt?
why didn't she cry any tears?
then I could have saved her
lived to our golden years.

Then you will remember...
I did speak to you
I did cry tears
at the time I wasn't that important
