I want to tell my family
I want to tell those who are near
Please don’t look through me
Because…I’m still here

Acknowledge my being
Let me know I exist
Please hear my pleading
Let my presence persist

I try to touch,
I try to caress
But you can't sense my lips
to yours, tenderly pressed

Tis as if I have no essence
Tis Your disengagement I fear
Please see and feel my presence
I may be passed… yet ere I’m still here
