Can you....?

Can you see me,

See me here,

Curled up, shaking, on my bed?

Can you see my pain,

My tears,

I flowing streams of red?

Can you hear me,

Hear me now,

Take in my silent screams?

Can you hear my cries,

My sobs,

And do you know what they mean?

Can you feel me,

Feel me here,

Freezing cold and frail?

Can you feel my heart,

My soul,

Or even skin so pale?

Can you taste me,

Taste me now,

Drenched in blood and fear?

Can you tase my shame,

My hurt,

Or are things not as they appear?
