Wrap my arms around you
Squeezing so tight
Can't seem to hold my grip
You run and take flight

Pour out my words
Flood of devotion
You're blind and deaf
Though you're drowning in my ocean

Screaming and yelling
Standing at your ear
Throat goes numb
Constant flow of tears

The words reach your mind
But your heart's in a maze
Searching, turn and fall
It's the never-ending phase

This piece is about someone who doesn't seem to hear what I'm saying even when they're listening.
