Where Are You

Hi, are you listening

Hi, do you even care

I talk to you

It seems each word

Goes in one ear and

Out the other

A relationship is built upon

Communication

That takes two listeners

As well as

Two talkers

Talking and sharing ideas

However you ignore me

Throw me out

Shut me out

I'm starting to feel like

The only one living in this house

We used to talk

Sharing our

Hopes

Dreams

Giving comfort to each other

Now you seem distant

Off in your own little world

Can I not be a part of  that world with you

Can we not be together again

I'm alone

I'm scared

I wish I could hold you near

Every time I try to get close

You back away

Like you're afraid of me

Why is that

What have I done

To make you this way

If I have

I'm sorry

Whatever it was

I'm sorry

Please come back

Please let me in

I want to feel your touch

I want to hear your voice

Not this silence

Not this coldness

Not this loneliness

Hi, are you listening

Hi, do you even care
