Talk then Listen
I talk, words come out but you do not hear
I hope, that you will hear me, someday
you cry, wishing that I would listen
why is this so hard?
We speak words, in anger and resignation
cut off like talking into a wall
I try, I speak, maybe this time you will hear
And so, it continues, talking and hoping
Hoping that this time, this time,
You will hear me
As you talk, hoping that this time, if only
I will hear you
It is time to listen, for me
I will try, this time, to hear
When you are done, Iwill be here
Listening still. Hoping.
That now, you will hear.
