Listen, please
I beg of you
Hear my words
As I speak
Don't ignore me
I know you see
My lips moving
But do not listen to the sound
It's aching to see
Those transfixed eyes
On those around you
Instead of what's in front of you
Do you not see
The pain behind my eyes
And the scars within my soul
And the hurt in my voice
But you don't
You see them
You listen to them
But neither of those are towards me
Even if I swam across the seas
Walked through fire
And plunged off the highest mountain
You wouldn't see
Your eyes of lust
Are stained to someone else
I try to turn your eyes towards me
But they always drift back to where they start
On what is not yours to be
