Red Tape Tantrum

I was not supposed to hear your voice

The Red Tape that kept us apart

tied the liar and the lies

together



But through the carelessnes of another

I heard you beg for me

just a part of me

only the sound

of my voice

for a minute



please.



And NO

you would not go to your room and

NO they could not touch you and

NO you were not unreasonable

and NObody cared about you there...



I yelled in the phone

"Hello! Hello! I can hear it all! Let me talk to her!



But no one hears

and I am ignored

as usual

because I am Nobody



And Nobody cares

about

her.
