always with compassion and empathy
i hear every word you say
but, is it one sided?
do you hear me when i pour
my heart and life out to you?
are you taking in the things i say?
are you listening to me, in the same way?
if i ask a question, did you hear what i said?
do my thoughts and words go to your heart?
am i just your sounding board
and nothing more?
the troubles that are plaguing me
are blind to you
you do not see
no response to my questions
no answers for my fears
i do not sink in
friendship is a two way street
i know more about you
than you about me
read these words
take them to heart
show me i am wrong
