A blank stare
In one ear and out the other
I hear you but I’m not listening
Have way too much on my mind
Here but not here
Pour me another glass of wine
Traditional conversations
Answering questions with questions
Verbally confused
I’m the painter
You’re my muse
Discovering the beauty in your eyes
How have I never seen this before
Your words become clear
Hovering around my ears
Starting to sink in now
I hear you
Can’t live without you
Hush
I hear you
I’m all ears
No need for your tears
I’m listening now
All my problems fade away
Hold you in my arms
Everything will be alright
Squeeze you with all my might
Never letting go
Hush
I hear you
