Your Eyes Go Sad

Your eyes go sad.You'er not
Listening to what I say.
They doze,dream,fade out.
Not listening.I talk away.

I tell what I've told,out of listless
Sadness,so often before...
I think you never listened,
So you'er away you are.

All of a sudden,an absent
Stare,you look at me,still
Immeasurably distant,
You begin a smile.

I go on talking.You
Go on listening-your own
Thoughts you listen to,
The smile as good as gone,

Until,through the loafing
Afternoon's waste of while,
The silence self-unleafing
Of your useless smile.




Smile for me
Smile for you :)

It is important to listen.
Sometimes I feel the only thing I can really do is be a good listener, at least they know I care.conversing
