I take the time to listen to what you say
Buy your words are empty and meaningless
I used loved to listen to you, hear you speak
I still here you, but do not understand

I wish things went back to the way they were
When you spoke and I listened and understood
Instead of the nonesense you now speak of
Both our minds and souls spoke, but no longer

We have slowly drifted and became strangers
Only because we do not listen, we only speak
Never realizing what we are doing to ouselves
Not realizing we shall never be the same

As I sit here I realize you are slipping away
And if I let this go on, I will lose you
Talk to me, tell me your hopes, your fears
Do not be afraid to tell me who you are

Because I fear I know longer know you
I want to listen, and I want to understand
But am I able to do those thing for you?
If I can, then talk to me, and I will listen

If not then I am truly regretting this
I think I love you too much for my own good
For in the end, I am the one who hurts
Will you listen and understand me please?

Geez, thanks guys. I wrote this while taking those stupid standarized tests. I'm so glad you liked it. I wrote it for my boyfriend since he and I were going through a rough time. Thanks again !
