(1)

You are supposed to listen

Especially when it's so obvious

That there is a message to be read

Between the lines

Something so important to me

You are supposed to listen

But you don't

Instead

Without apology

You interrupt

With stories of your own

And so I find refuge in

Words written and not spoken

In a place you don't know of

And so you will never know

Just how much I need you

Even though

Each time I reach out

You look away

(2)

I wonder too often

What my life would be like

If he hadn't met her

And she had met someone else

How different would my life be

If no had been said

Instead of

Yes

(3)

Do you ever feel guilty

For being cursed with the role

Of the first one to have

Broken my heart?

(4)

These words

All start sounding the same

After just a few lines

Maybe I should steal some

From another

Words

Even stories

Anything

To get rid of

This unchanging way of life

Because

To be quite honest

I'm quite bored with it all

(5)

They ask me why

I remain unchosen

But they never

Choose me
