Hello?

Disoriented, trying to see if anyone is near....

Hello?

Hello?  Is there anyone there?
Looking for someone who might care….
I just heard a noise, should I be scared?
It’s gone now, perhaps they didn’t dare….

Hello?  It’s dark, I’m confused and alone,
When I fell asleep, I was safe at home.
I can’t see much, can’t find my phone,
There’s that noise again, did someone moan?

Hello?  Will anyone answer me please?
I’m so scared, shaking, weak in my knees.
That noise I heard?  Sounded like rattling keys.
Now there’s air blowing past, a sharp, chill, breeze.

Hello?  Hello?  Oh, it’s you I see!
I’m so thankful you’re here to rescue me!
Wait!  What are you doing?  Please don’t leave!
Sobbing now, I was sure I’d be freed.

Hello? Hello?  How dare you treat me so!
Listen here you scum, that much you owe!
I want to be freed, see the sunshine glow.

But no one hears.... I’m alone….  Hello?
