Are You Listening?

A deafening high pitched tune transports me to somewhere else I rather be Where peace massages out all the knots of pain I can hear my thoughts think and I’m not confused by your flooded emotions I don't wonder what I should do, because I'm constantly working towards the goal Even amid the setbacks The judgment of your eyes is a mist I can't see through You're part of the reason I had to stop even when there was no sign I had to pause because you're driving us off a cliff and my dreams aren't ready to die Your words sound like a needle scratching my records, nails scratching the chalk board So, it's time I chalk this one up I've left the conversation before it's began because your body language told me an argument was coming soon I can see myself without you coming soon Walking out the door, looking for my keys, trying to escape you Where I can see clearly with no headaches Disagreements make my heartache Now I'm love sick, throwing up all your verbiage back to you in frustration Now it's silent, it's been silent for about 10 minutes with nothing but you I think you just noticed, as your scream awakes me from my daydream The violence in your tone feels like a warzone They say you have to fight for love but right now I'm fighting against myself and you What do you want me to do, I respond sternly Asking myself in my head what should I do I can't process over your angry tears melting my smile She asks, are you listening to me p.s. I'm not listening, I'm making plans in my head of how to relax…
