Your turn to Listen

I spent an entire summer listening to you when you were gone, now it's time you do the same.

Tick tock

the clock rings again,

Just another sign

that I'm wasting time

Wasting, watching,

when I should just get up

and be talking to you.

I know, I've heard,

that you wouldn't listen

that you wouldn't bother

to look a little deeper.

They all have points,

but I do too

I have a heart going crazy,

feelings unsaid,

a restless head

And they all

point to you.

I would if I could,

if I just got that simple chance,

that simple time

where you and me are alone

Not having to worry,

for your friends are no where in sight

And for the first time

I could look into your eyes.

People tell me to give up,

just walk away from the battle

Like it's so easy;

Like I can just snap-

and my feelings will be gone.

My heart still races for you,

yes that's true

but whether it still had or not

you need to know the truth.

They haven't hated,

they haven't cried

Or even come close

to how mad you made me,

or how bad you hurt me.

Both sides are to blame,

that much is true.

I've heard your argument,

would it be so bad

to hear me out too?

You can't just shut me out,

like you've done so much before

Whether you believe me or not,

it's your turn to listen.

Author's Note

I spent an entire summer listening to you while you were nowhere to be found.
Maybe it's time you listen to me, face-to-face.
