Hmmmm....

Listening
a curse
quietly others discuss
watching
waiting
what else is said?
what else is thought?
words being scattered...
nowhere to lay their head
maybe to find solace in the ears of another
to spoken by the messenger
betrayal....maybe
hurt?
definitely
wondering what else is said
not in my presence
between the two...amongst the three
they all agree
a pair of ears....know too much
oooh to be deaf
maybe the talkers will be happy

stand on the outside...
i'll always be on the outside
