Array ( [sid] => 119900 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Not Listening [time] => 2006-05-12 00:13:03 [hometext] => Sometimes, its not that you're invisible, it just that the other person doesnt want to adknowlegde you,,,,i guess [bodytext] => You dont see where this is going
I dont see where you're taking me
I'm not lying but you're not listening

You're asking me to compromise myself
Writing my lines to better suit you
Forcing me to change without an word.

I'm asking you, so softly like a prayer
Imploring for an ounce of understanding
Entreating you to leave...just go.

We're asking each other for opposites
At this point it doesn''t matter who wants want
But who wants WHOM.

I can't be everything you want
And everything you are not
I never lied, you should have listened.

Not Listening

Amazing poem. I know how you feel, it's happened to me often, but I've also ignored people unintentionally. So I know both sides. You've expressed your poem almost beyond words.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
