That One Ear

A late night or early morning post will never be seen, let alone read if ever found That one ear That one ear Can't hear how much I've cried Those two eyes Can't see how much I've tried That one heart Can't seem to feel how much my heart has loved Still love That one ear Doesn't hear how loud I've screamed Those two eyes Doesn't see the pain I hide That one heart Doesn't feel how much I've loved I fight and fight again Still that head is turned again I cried and cried again Still those shoulders shrug again I confess I'm still in love But.... It's ignored again No response Just that one ear That one ear that heard Kept silent That mouth uttered no word Staying on the line Won't tell me the truth Nor tell me if that heart feels the same I've been heard But there were no words Can't tell if that heart still cares Can't tell if those eyes still stare Can't tell if that ear still hears.... Still listens Because that dear Doesn't know I care Doesn't know I still love Doesn't know that I cry Doesn't know what made me great Nor what made me weak Am I just a thing that ear hears Am I just a thing that heart use to love Am I just a thing those eyes use to gaze at Am I just a fleeting thing That use to be something in those eyes Now is nothing in that heart? That one ear Those two eyes That one heart ......doesn't seem to see The gem in my hand....shattering My blue skin paling And my one eye tearing Feels like one of me Now this light is fading Because.... Our fusion hasn't been.... Existing That one ear Can't hear how much I've cried Those two eyes Can't see how much I've tried That one heart Can't seem to feel how much my heart has loved Still love
