Listen To Me

A rewrite of Ed Sheeran's "Open Your Ears"

Think about you all the time

You've set camp in my mind 

I'll press rewind and go 

Go back to that time, you know

In your life I thought I belonged

Turns out that I was wrong

You don't remember the time

You're gone, I won't be fine

Listen to me

It's so hard to breathe 

With nothing to live for

Listen to me

It's so hard to breathe

I'd be your girl

I'd rock your world

I'm nothing

Without you next to me

But you don't want that

I can't have you back

And you should mean 

Nothing to me

Listen to me

It's so hard to breathe 

With nothing to live for 

Listen to me

It's so hard to breathe

And It's hard to think that

You don't want me now

And It still feels like 

I'm on some cloud 

And It's hard to think that 

You don't want me now

Listen to me 

It's so hard to breathe 

With nothing to live for

Listen to me

Just let me breathe

feeling important to the one you want , the one you love...is there anything more meaningful? yes....i feel the pain and anguish in this write. i am in harmony with these doubts, these fears, these feelings which run too deep for anyone other than yourself to understand...i can't and won't go there again...but i know what you are feeling. well written and full of love. nice write. it gets better........

To be heard is to be validated but to be rejected is often earth shattering. I really felt your emotions come off of this poem. Well done.

[Annabelle Lee]

THANK YOU!

[Baby Ricochet]

The repetativeness of the piece makes it more song like than poem like. Great job

[Annabelle Lee]

Well I ripped the rhythm and general idea off of a song, basically
Thanks!!!!

[Frieda P]

I like the repetition of this write, drives the point home. Never heard this song before, you did a great job...like this one, unrequited love is always good fodder.

first you're should be 'your' ....

[Annabelle Lee]

Thanks! Will fix it!

[Frieda P]

I do that all the time! Welcome...
