You Speak

By: Ella Kay

I listen to you
tell yourself
how truly bad you are
not worth my time
not worth my love

I listen to you tell yourself
you have things to do
no time
busy man
a rock
so lonely, you are

I listen to you tell yourself
all these awful things
and yet, I HEAR you say
I hate my life
I need to love
I want someone
I miss my wife
I'm frightened

You speak, I listen
You speak, I hear
You speak...
I love

My heart hears your words unspoken
it translates to
friendship, understanding
compassion

Hear me...don't be frightened

LOVE...
