Are You Listening?

Are You Listening?

Are you listening to me
When everything is calm
Can you hear the echoes
Of deafening quietness
Is amplified silence
Too much to listen to?

Can you hear my pleas
When it just drift into thin air
Can you perceive me speaking
When all you hear is a hush
Of my empty voice

Can you see my tears falling
When you’re blinded by your ideals
Will you shed a little light
On my pitch-black world
Where everything is dark
In an unending night

Are you listening to me?
Maybe you’re not
How can you listen to a shadow
When you got YOU?
