In Someone Else's Eyes

There are words that I longed to hear. But not what you might expect. The words that I would hold dear, are associated with respect. You didn't have to agree with me, or pacify me with your lies. I know that you are unable to see, the truth in someone else's eyes. You don't recognize a voice, other than your own. Never giving me a choice, for I always felt alone. I knew you didn't listen, nor hear, anything that I tried to say. You made that very clear, on your face, your bored display. Only your emotions were valid, mine were conveniently dismissed. The issues you always skirted, any opening you would resist. Listening, you may have heard, what I was trying to convey. But that would have been absurd, you felt I had nothing to say.
