We Both Could Hear Poem by Brian Kilpatrick

I trim the fat
And you ate the meat
But you still  can't  understand 
One word I speak
I turned up the heat 
And froze our hearts
I turned on the lights but
We were still as blind
As the day we were born
I didn't listen
Even though
I had been forewarned 
They told me the price of love
Is you pay with your life
Listen to your heart
And try to do what's right
Until we finally disappear
Into the lonely night
I wish somehow
We both could hear
Our silent screams
Chilling in the air
