Listen To Me
You ask for truth
I speak it freely
I tell you how I feel
You say you hear me,
Yet I think you never will
Why does it always have to be your way
Do my feelings make a difference to you?
Our friendship means so much to me
As I know I mean to you
One should not attempt to hold onto
A heart one does not freely give
But give wings to what they cherish
and smile and watch them live.
Please listen to me--
I have been listening to you.

This lady has wonderful insight and is a talent to be reckoned with.
What a beautifully written poem, it should cause any man to ask ," Is it I?" Is it I that can not hear the heart, Is it I that refuses to set free that which I love most?
This is stunning in its wisdom and insight.
a beautiful thought provoking poem,that inspires wondering.
This speaks to me of the terrible sadness of loving someone who does not show love in return.
