Dear C
I thought we were friends
But you are right-
I drifted away.
O
it is true that
I neglected you.
‘N’ I
do know
I wouldn’t listen to you.
Now I S ee you lying there
Motionless, emotionless
C
aring not to heed
I
need you again, please, your
E
ar, incline
I N udge you, oh do respond;
C
ease this ghastly coup d’état,
And
E
ase me from my plight!
When you sleep
The world goes horribly wrong!
I know I should weep
But rather I dance to a foreign song.
Who am I, This being with no meaning?
Will I be the same; shall I find my
healing?
C-O-N-S-C-I-E-N-C-E
My friend that is me;
Come on Conscience
I need you- can't you see?
Heart stops; mind blocks:
Is she really dead?
Conscience; Conscience!
Won't you answer me??
Bitter-sweet relief, sweat on my brow;
Dammit, Conscience-
I can see you breathe!
Conscience, dear Conscience, won't you come
and rescu e me?
