I don't know if you can hear me,
   but I'm here.
I haven't been able to hear my own
   voice lately.
Did you notice how cold, solid the floor
   is in here?
Somehow I thought that in here it would
   be warmer.
Were youthe one that turned out
   the lights?
You forgot to plug in my night light,
   and I'm kinda scared.
I don't know if you can hear me,
   but I'm here.
My body hurts all over and there's this pounding
   in my head.
Could you bring me a glass of milk?
   I can't seem to move.
I'm sorry if I upset you when I
   started crying.
I was afraid that you had left me
   all alone.
You never told me life ended so soon.
   I guess I should thank you.
I don't know if you can hear me,
   but I'm still here.
It's purple, by the way, but the chalk is
   almost gone.
Would it be ok if I used just one
   more piece?
My hope-scotch board is almost done.
   I need this to throw.
It'll keep the monster locked up
   in the closet.
Or did you push it under the bead
   instead?
I don't know if you can hear me,
   but I'll keep talking.

Inside the light you lose its edges until pushed
