Hear Me
Are you hearing me?
Or are you just listening?
They're completely different
You can hear pain
You can hear the bitterness
But listening that's just words
Words that you don't digest
I'm stretching to you for help
I reach to you as if you're the sun, the sun that keeps me alive
But you just listen, you don't hear
I'm ranting to you
Ranting like that was the only thing that mattered
Your abrupt snaps shook me awake from a long slumber
The word spewed out of your mouth like hot lava
Girl
Girl, do I not have a name?
Do you not know your friend?
But friends?
A friend knows a name
A friend hears
You?
You don't deserve a name
You don't even deserve the time of day
