She’s pleads with you today
“Please listen.”
But her pleas fall like seed
Onto dead ground
You refuse.
You refuse her any kind sympathy
You refuse her a gentle touch
A word of affection
Or affirmation
No whispered assurance
Into her love starved ear
that everything is alright,
That you are not going anywhere
She keeps asking, begging really
For your ears to incline to her
But this too, you refuse to give
So tomorrow,
Don’t stare longingly out of your dusty morning window wondering to the dawn
“Where did I go wrong?”
It was right in front of you
And you lost her
You lost the one who loved you,
That you refused to love back
