My Wondering Thoughts Set In Ink (My Poetry Collection)

Mute (Imagine)

Imagine:

That your lips are moving

And your tongue is flickering

And your eyes aren't wandering

And you are standing and trying

To start a conversation.

But Imagine:

That person you try to converse with,

Looks away.

Though they had never really looked at you,

And it's as if they hadn't heard you.

They don't ever listen.

Imagine:

That you open your mouth again

And you repeat the words you once spoke

You mention that previous phrase again,

When they still do not hear you.

You drop the conversation;

You guess it wasn't all that important.

Imagine: 

It's a week later

And you're riding in the car with that person

And they ask you about your day

So you go to explain

But when you've finished the story,

You see that they weren't even listening.

They were texting their boss

Because your day isn't really that important to them.

So then, imagine:

That your sitting down eating dinner

And you're sitting right next to them

And you were just laughing

And you're now smiling, really smiling.

This time, you mean it.

And you tell a funny story

And you think that they can hear you

That maybe they're really listening

But then the phone rings. They get up to retrieve it.

You finish dinner alone, and go to sleep with no comfort or good night.

I ask you to imagine:

That you're yelling and screaming in their face.

That you're finally unleashing everything.

Telling them how you feel,

Expressing the emotions that you've had to bottle up,

And you're finally able to release everything.

And then you see that she was really listening now,

so you break down and begin to cry.

You sob on their shoulder, with their arms around

And you know that they're really listening.

Of course, it is that that only I can imagine

Because I don't know what it's like,

Because they have never heard,

Because I am stuck on mute.

Ok....so it's late... but I don't quite care. Not much to say really...

Um, three new uploads today/yesterday, whatever the hell it's qualified as. 

Love you guys! <3 Xxx
