You Don'T Hear Me

My actions speak.... 
louder than anything 
that 
I could ever say, 
But you must be 
deaf & blind
Because you don't 
hear me either way.
Don't tell me 
that I should just...
Don't suggest that 
maybe if I would have...
Don't try to convince me 
that you're ready to try...
It may have once worked, 
But now...
But now, it won't fly.
My actions are loud,
But your inaction is 
deafening...
Preventing me from 
hearing your blame, 
and your excuses...
You expect, 
what you don't freely give.
You can't hear me,
And I no longer want 
to hear you.
You NEVER heard me,
And I no longer want 
to hear you.
