The Hole

This hole is dark and it is cold
I can't escape no hand to hold
I'm reaching out
I grab just air
I stretch and stretch
Still no-one's there
I try to scream but hear no sound
Time ticks on
Will I be found
I cry so much
I rant and rage
It feels like living in a cage
Trapped inside I can't get out
The door stays closed
I shout and shout
Still no-one hears
No matter how many salty tears
Over and over in the dark
I hear the beating of my heart
If this goes on I'll tear apart
I can't go on here in the dark
