i thought you'd listen to it,
hear the words on every shaking line,
the steps it takes to make a song.
my heart did the same with you,
held each beat and breath of yours,
closer to myself.
as if to keep you around longer.
of course, it didn't work.
because the tempo went slower,
as you pushed yourself away from me.
did you even listen to the song i gave you?
did you care to hear the words,
the phrases hanging off of each note?
i don't think you did.
but who knows,
maybe you can prove me wrong.
