Let Me feel Alive

Can I please

go hide

in a dark hole and not do anything

can I please

go cry

where no one will hear

can I go scream to the roof tops

and revel in the rain

can I feel alive again, someday

Can I hear again

the echoing cacophony of crows in the spring

or the deafening cicadas that lull me to sleep?

Can I hear you sing to me,

just one last time

I want to hear your voice,

intertwine with mine

I want to live

to feel

to breath

to do all this things

so I'm asking you, please

won't you let me feel alive

for one last time
