The Pit Of Solitude

An eerie silence has trapped me,
All I can hear is my own echo.
Into a pit of darkness,
I feel the gravity pull me.
“Can anyone hear me?” I scream.
“Can anyone hear me ?” It reverberates.
“Heyy,” I scream once again.
It again echoes, my futile attempt.
I feel so lonely and cold in here.
Does anyone know, I’m not there?
But in this world, does anyone care?
Somebody does, somebody must,
I keep repeating it on and on,
In desperation, I cling to hope.
The eerie silence teases me,
The darkness tries to embrace me.
“Nobody cares,” they tell me,
Again, and again, they remind me.
“I do,” I finally retort.
One person, I truly trust.
