You're always saying how you want to understand me But how can you when our conversations remain one sided- My speech is broken by a silence that should be filled with your own Yet I continue to speak to myself, never pausing to hear the sounds of silence My words stringing into sentences, rolling off my tongue with such poetic rhythm They cannot possibly make no sense, because they make perfect sense to me I must be speaking in a foreign language- yes, that must be it But surely in misunderstanding you would call a stop to my ranting Instead I am met with a blank expression followed by suspicious looks
