Each word spoken
falls to the ground
without being heard.
Listless nods and empty eyes
tell me how little
I really mean to them.
Why can't they see that
what they show me is a
heart that gives nothing but
a glass free from water.
No kindness flows
from their lips... only stares
and silence with every question,
followed by, I'm sorry what?
Can't they understand the
space they lose are the words
consuming my every breath?
Leaving me here... insignificant
