Deaf Ears

You tell me anything I want But when I tell you It falls on deaf ears. Go wherever you want. When I do You didn't hear me leave. When I ask how are you doing You didn't hear me ask. If I finally get upset YOU HEAR ME! You don't understand my need to be heard, Because after all I don't listen to you. I guess I am the one with DEAF EARS.

Hello Virginia Gelok, when speaking to a person that is deaf, the words have to be repeated until the words are understood. Or they hear what they want to hear. Enjoy your day my friend.

Well penned Virginia, I think in general folk hear but they don't really listen - some times its easier to switch off especially when a relationship is challenging ! hugs jan xx
