I Should Have Listened

I should have listened once to what my ears were hearing. If I had, I would have known the end was nearing. If I’d listened to your heart when I should have, I would’ve realized you’d given all that you could give. If I’d listened once to what your eyes were saying, I wouldn’t be here for your presence praying. If I’d listened when your silent tears were falling, I would have known your heart to me was always calling. I guess I always thought you’d be here for me. I never put your needs in front of my needs. And now I’m sitting here alone without you. And I know now that there’s nothing else I can do. Copyright: December 21, 2005
