Do you take the time to listen? |
Listening is a skill Acquired when you've no longer time to kill When you've really sat down and really heard listening follows a mouth's spoken words It isn't hearing which isn't the same you can hear something And never remember a thing as it escapes out of the other ear entirely missing the receptors of your brain How have you come this far without being able to listen How are you where you are when you can't even do more than nod like a bobble head chicken as you fake like you know what i have just said and i ask you to tell me what i happened to say and guess what, you don't know. how could you? And it's funny. I thought shit came back around. for all the times i have listened to you. bent over backwards. never let you down. the few times i ask you to just pay me a little bit of attention you don't find me worth even the grime you find lingering in your kitchen NO. i'm not even fucking worth the dirt you step on. listening to me is about as worthy as listening to a crow's horrid song. My words are as useful to you as sticking your finger in an outlet you'd rather swim with sharks than listen to the words with which i come to part well i am done being meaningless to you, you and you. fuck up your life I will smile and laugh when that karma boomerang sneaks up and tears your ass in half because i was the safety net beneath your tight rope as you walked above danger I was there to catch you but you took this safety net and burned it to ashes saying fuck you i don't need you, i got this well you do you. and i will do me. the next time you need something need it from something worthy I don't care, give your shit to someone that does maybe then you will feel the pain that i feel when even your supposed friends don't show you the respect and time you deserved listening is a skill and you have yet to acquire it I suggest you start learning it or i'm not the only friend you will soon have to miss |
