Were You Listening

Have my ears

Given up?

Have they been

Through enough?

Won't you give it a rest?

It's too loud

You're so sure of it

But if only you knew

Every subtlety

You're oblivious to

Don't you understand

How much more you could be

I was wondering

Did you notice?

Were you listening?

Can't you hear?

Have my eyes

Got it right?

Did you sail out of sight?

If you ever come back

It's too soon

You're so sure of it

But I wish you could see

All the damage that

You've been doing to me

Tell the rest of us

What you're doing this for

I was wondering

Did you notice?

Were you listening?

Can't you hear?

My ears

Have had enough

Sound has

Filled them up

My eyes

Have seen enough

Better

Keep them shut
