On Deaf Ears…”

There you are and here I stand.
On opposite sides of this line like footprints in the sand.
Staring at each other as we wait for the other to make a move.
Hesitant and unsure but ultimately it’s something we can’t elude.
Believing in the impossible isn’t hard as it seems.
Comparable as to absorbing the truth, it’s the soul that feels the shameless stings.
Dreams and unspeakable desires cloud my logic.
Wanted to share them with you and thought you did too; ironic.
Your words twisting within like a knife in my heart.
Confused, not comprehending why as I slowly come apart.
My feelings were real and profound despite the authenticity of yours.
Putting a good spin on it, damage control yet I’m still left sore.
You’re hand is visible yet intangible to touch.
Screaming your name, reaching; you pull back the warmth that I yearn so much.
I wanted you to listen and hear what I had to say.
Drowning out my pleas; selfish-you lied never hearing me.
Prayers and hope faded to black¬—neglect and reality opened the eyes to see.
Now, I have to move on and you’re still playing games.
Always innocent but on me, you place the blame.
Everyone was there, but it was you that made me feel low.
Tried everything .……
Guess u didn’t want to know.
