No One Listens Poem by Rose Stern

What happened to us?
We used to be good friends,
You admitted it yourself,
I never wanted that to end,
But now, when I talk,
You seem to push me away,
Never actually listening,
To what I have to say,
I listen to you,
Every word you say,
I take in and absorb,
That's just my way.
It's like you're freezing me out,
But I'm not gonna say,
Guess I'm just a complicated girl,
Who was raised that way.
I'm gonna teach myself to listen,
Hear everything you say.
So when the silence fills the room,
I'm gonna be okay.
