NOT LISTENING

by @brent-kincaid

You weren’t listening to me I know it to be true you see Because you could not hear me And not be in love with me. I have told you carefully What you have here in me A person of total loyalty And outrageous personality. You could not have been listening Because you were not hearing The wonderful things I’m telling And the joys that are here waiting Waiting patiently and languishing In the shadow of your evening As the sun has begun lowering And the moon has begun rising. I sit in the shadows and I’m sad Missing all the good times we had Knowing something cannot be bad When it has made me so very glad. If you only missed me just a tad I would be a much happier lad. I fear our love was just a fad And it’s serving to drive me mad. I know you weren’t listening to me Or you couldn’t behave callously. You would be enchanted totally And drawn to me quite helplessly. Is it something else completely? Some magic spell not from me? Some disgusting magical sorcery That drags you away forcefully?
