As time ceases to remind me

of love and hate, of pain

if memory serves me well

i know my memory will abandon me

and everywhere i go

a simple bit of hope surrounds me

something seems to trigger

that lost soul

and dreams-

they come back to me

faster

i hope you're listening

and with everyone i see

words-

they just come back to me

words i wish i said

i still hope you're listening

to me and all my words

that fill out on this page

fill for you

i hope you're listening

but you'd correct me now

say it's reading

But no, you're not listening

you're still not listening

ans as time ceases to remind me

of love and hate,

of you

i wish time would go by

faster

i hope you're listening
