Can You Hear Me From Where You Are?

Can you hear me from here?

Can you?

Please say this voice is traveling across the air

To you, thousands of miles away.

Because I’m out of rope.

I’ve strewn out all my life lines

And I’m still drifting farther away.

Did you see them?

Did you see me when I fell from the boat and drifted away?

Because I’ve been screaming your name for days now

And my voice is getting hoarse.

But I just don’t want to be lost anymore.

I don’t want to be alone on this ocean anymore.

So please

Please

Please

If you hear my voice

Sail in my direction.

If you find one of my lifelines

Grab it and drag me home.

Because I’m tired of feeling lost

And my legs are done treating water.

I’m afraid if you don’t save me soon

My head will go under the waves.

But I will scream until that moment.

Just please tell me

Can you hear me from where you are?
