Didn't you hear me calling

As Darkness fell to Earth?

The beating of my heart stood still

While blackness filled my girth.

My eyes felt icy, cold and dark

I felt the staining plunder

Turning them dark indigo

My vision did encumber.

Didn't you hear me calling?

My mind shouted in despair

No response echoed back

Just the silence of night air.

Didn't you hear me calling?

Were you totally unaware

I needed you so desperately

It was as if you did not care.

The whisper of the willows

That always spoke to me

Now spoke as if in secrecy

As if they could foresee.

Then suddenly their secrecy

Was no more to be heard.

No whisper, wind nor flight of bird,

My deafness now occurred.

Now you will not hear me calling,

My mind shouted in despair

No response will echo back

Just silence everywhere.

Now you will not hear me calling.

You will be totally unaware

That I need you now so desperately.

I hope that you still care.

Just silence left within my mind,

I will miss your tender touch.

Please don't leave me in despair

I miss you oh so much.

Please don't leave me in despair

Don't leave me in despair.
