She Listens...

Every word. Every syllable. Pronunciation and intonation. She listens carefully.
Killing her softly. Steadily. Breaking her heart in two.
Forcing herself to ‘feel good’. Swallowing her pride. Pretending it don’t matter.
Your words. Your actions. Your attention. Its like you’re body’s there with her, but your mind....
She wonders if you ever think of her, the way she thinks of you. She wonders why you do the things you do when it’s obvious you don’t care.
Why won’t people be honest? Why won’t they let their intentions be known? Instead holding hostage a heart that beats on hope, a hope they’ll never fulfill.
So many people hurting because of words not said. So many cowards throwing the rocks then hiding their hands- behinds questions they’ll never answer, words they’ll never say
It doesn’t have to be this way. It doesn’t have to, dear friend.
Another waits in the shadows. Ready to stake his claim. Yet you keep her heart prisoner of your foolish selfish games.
