Can anyone hear?

The noose tightens, the screams ebb
Does anyone hear?
The walls are closing in, the windows are shuttered, darkness is prevailing
The screams bounce off the walls.
Does anyone hear?
These silent screams are killing me from inside, killing the heart...
Does anyone hear? Does anyone care?

Suddenly a ray of light breaks the dark clouds, warms the heart, silences the screams
peace descends.
Someone does care!Someone does hear!
