Shut up and Listen

Hey you- Dear you,

Shut up and listen.

Do you hear my heart, singing like a bird for you?

Or how it abuses my ribs from beating so fast?

I don't understand this blue

Feeling I get when I think about you

Not feeling the same.

Shut up and listen.

I don't say much out loud which is why

You don't pay much attention to me, right?

I feel sad thinking of all things

We can't have. Not even a fling

Or I can't share my love.

Shut up and listen.

And when I say that, I mean pay attention.

I say a lot with hardly any words, you know.

What can I say when anything I want to say

Involves thoughts of you every day

That I now wish I could change?

Sincerely, me.
