Do you ever listen ?
Do you ever listen ?
It feels like I am talking to a wall
Your face says it all
The words which I speak, you hear them as lisps.
It feels like I can’t really communicate with you
There’s a barrier that can’t be seen, but it’s ever so present
How can I get across to you ?
How can I cross this bridge between us?
Sometimes I think you don’t care
It feels like a never ending nightmare
Repressed emotions finally surfing up
I’m tired and I want to scream
But this fear won’t let me be
I’m afraid of the loneliness that comes with your absence
I’m afraid to face the world alone, hence am still here
But I fear, for how long will I continue to be here
In this place where there is no love
Do you ever listen ?
Do you even care ?
Will you ever care?
One day, I hope you will listen
But I know that day will never come
About this poem
I wrote this poem at one of my darkest moments, when I felt like I was reaching out to someone so dear to me somehow my love was never enough to bring us together.
