LISTEN.
A girl who sold her soul to you
Begs to take it back.
Can you hear it?
Can you hear her whimpering cries,
Her miserable desperation?
Or do you choose
To shut her out again,
And leave her hanging
Yet another time?
LISTEN.
Another girl cries, wounded,
Her blood spilling freely
Because you offered her a rose
With no warning of the thorns.
Her heart will forever carry
The scars they left behind.
Did you plan on hurting her,
Or was she simply a casualty,
Unfortunate collateral damage?
LISTEN.
You used this one as currency.
You liked the look of her,
But you never planned on keeping her.
You spent her and tossed her away
With no regards to where she'd land.
Do you regret any of it?
Do you hear her screams
And shrink back in shame?
Or is it like music to you?
LISTEN.
You take one heart and break the next,
The shattered pieces at your feet.
You hurt and hurt and hurt again,
But you do not seem to care.
Do you feel no remorse?
Do you choose to ignore those you've broken?
The curses, the screams, the cries...
Does none of it reach you?
Why can't you ever just
LISTEN?
