Are You Listening?

theres a spot on the corner of my room that i find myself sitting on every night 
smiling to myself, murmuring nonsense to a certain picture, blurred with tears, scratches and 
lipstick kiss marks 
I could scream, i could laugh, but you won't turn around 
crying, calling, by your silence I am bound 
you love me, i love you, 
you hate me, I still love you 
I'd leave, but I can't, I'd push you out, but I can't. 
Not until it's really over.... 
Are you listening?
