Do I really need to hear

This lesson once again

I know what is inside

This wretched fear and pride

Oh when will you Stop!

I can not truly bear

Your musings of what I should, could or would

I don't really care

Please send me to the depths of the sea

Please Stop!

Don't keep reminding me

I can't take one more second

This is what must be

A stranger in my heart

Yes, I know it's ME

I was here the whole time,

listening to what you said.

I wasn't paying attention though,

I watching a movie in my head.

Totally toning you out,

because it's not what I want to hear.

Come back tomorrow and start over,

Oh, wait, next year.

Excuse me for not listening,

you know I'm just a girl.

But sometimes I have other things

more important in my world.

Rude of me to stare at you,

while you speak your mind.

Looking at you while you talk,

I was here the whole time.

Your lips are moving

But I can't understand

Your creation of conversation

Isn't going as you planned

But I'm not the only one who's not paying attention

If you were in the here and now

You could tell there's no comprehension

"Blah, blah, blah"

Waving your hands up in the air

It's almost kind of comical

Because you think somehow I care

I'll sit here patiently

Until you finally run out of words

Then nod my head accordingly

As I watch the hummingbirds
