LISTENING

All the words I ever sent toward you 

signals cast into the air 

seeking reply 

pleading for rescue 

distorted in translation 

scrambled in transmission 

collapsing against unhearing walls 


I howled until my throat burned 

wept at your feet in surrender 

laid my confessions before you 

raw and unmistakable 

yet not a syllable reached you 

not a single plea 

found refuge in your ear 


Tell me 

were you ever actually listening 

or was I only speaking 

to a heartless void 

wearing a compassionate face?
