Are you listening....

Because everytime I say a prayer
it seems to get worse
not better
Because everytime I think things
will be all right they
are not.
Because everytime he walks into
my door my heart
remembers
everything it should forget.
But I forgive us like you do
because it is all I can do
isn't it
I must stand here and hope against
the obvious that you really
are listening
And that I am just not saying the
right words to make you
understand
how much I need to forget.
Maybe you do listen when my lips
pursed begin to move against
tears at night
Maybe you do listen when my mind
searches dark corners for
desperate solace
Maybe you do listen but you are
trapped like me and cannot
hammer out
I love you in the dark.
