Attention

By Shivansh Pahwa

I saw it before me in shadows of doubt

My means to salvation, my only way out.

I sat there in silence,...caught

Immune to heartache and deaf to my thought.

"I don't want a future", I solemnly swore

"of sadness and silence and loss anymore.

I don't want a witness to witness goodbye,

I just wanted someone to care when I cry."
