Please Tell Me

Beating of chest

Pulling of hair

Please tell me that you are near

Please tell me that you hear my prayer

Have I waited an eternity

To hear you voice

Or has it been only a moment

In the sparsity of time?

Please tell me that you are near

Please tell me that you hear my prayer

How I’ve tried to live- this futile life of mine

Have I done it right or am I wasting away

Who can say?

Please tell me that you are near

Please tell me that you hear my prayer
