Shut Up
Just listen to me
FOR ONCE
I’ll tell you
EVERYTHING
You want to hear
Need to know
Pretend to care about
But you won’t
Like always...
You never do
What I
NEED
you to do!
BEG
Of you..please
Just SHUT UP
Please
And you ask
AGAIN
Why it is I
CRY
Because you already
FORGOT
But you really do
CARE
Don’t you…?
The cycle spins
This wheel of compassion
Less the compassion part
I cry
You pretend
to
listen
...
care
...
love
...
Unconditionally, with
conditions
