Listen

I talk
You listen
You answer
I reply
Back and forth
Some generic, some dramatic
We try

Cold fingers
With pressure
Forming phrases
I feel
As I'm trying so hard
Or I'm failing
I do not know how to appeal.

You talk
I listen
I listen
I listen
And my eyes fill with tears
As I talk
Do you really listen?

People listen, but half the time what you're really saying doesn't reach them in the way that you would have hoped.
