The Escapist

listening

i brought you to my grandparents' house this evening

you said it was nice but i can tell you were pretending

something indicated that you were losing interest in me 

sat down on the table we were eating

laughing so loud while we were singing

but i can tell you weren't listening

why weren't you looking at me?

you used to be staring at me

for all the talks we were supposed to be having

the secrets words you said about me

i wish i had been listening
