Deaf Ears

 

I just wanted someone to listen,

I thought I found someone.

I mean that was one of reasons why I was drawn.

 

But after a while,

you became wall.

 

I would know because

you wouldn't remember anything

I ever said.

 

But if I forgot,

I wouldn't hear the end of it.

It wasn't because I wanted to.

 

It was because I have 

the tendency to forget.

 

But I only have the one excuse.

You have your phone.

 

And that, and everything

on it, means more than me.

 

But you don't really know me,

I tried to tell you,

I tried to let you in.

 

But you couldn't even accept

what I did show you.

 

So why show anymore?

Why even try?

My trust was shattered.

 

I can't open up to you,

it's almost impossible to try.

 

You don't even listen,

because you don't care.

 

I wanted someone to

listen to me.

and you can't even do

that anymore.

 

Everything I am,

all of me,

falls on deaf ears
