Crossed My Mind

Maybe he did not know that I felt some kind of way about What he did not say But then again he and I had been friends He had to know how the absence of truth Could slay a relationship that was built on words Silence turned my verbal glee into withdrawal It was the proof That what we had was no more and my disappointment boiled I listened to his-story and he listened to her-story Year after year we were seldom in a hurry But it’s alright He’s asleep now My Dearest one Good night

Listening is hard to do . . . so much noise to distract us . . . but what a gift when we take the time to actively listen. Great poem. thank-you for sharing.

Thank you for reading my poem David, and listening is hard to do when one is truly listening.
