You Heard Me Call

You heard me call. 

You heard me speak.

Whatever happened
that
you didn’t seek? 

Help
with all that’s wrong
makes you sad
makes you weep?

No help will come
If
we do not know.

No trouble solved
when
the answer isn’t seen
the question asked.

And
you sit in the midst
of what
you
just don’t know.

Heard

You heard me speak
You heard me say
Words that you took away
Making us forever friends
Even til today.

I heard you speak
I heard you say
These words I write
I write today.
