You Did Not Hear Poem Analysis

You Did not Hear

I try to tell you how I feel
What seems wrong and what seems real
But I see it in your eyes so clear
You listen, but you do not hear

Emotion flows with every word
And though its hard it must be heard
But as I point out that I fear
You listen, but you do not hear

And yet I try to say again
Though feel my efforts are in vain
As concerns are growing ever near
You listen, but you do not hear

And when the end looms close to hand
And dreams like sand slip through your hand
When ask you how did we end here?
You listened, but you did not hear What’s Wrong With This?

The world is turning inside outside
All that glitters is not gold
Designer lives of rich and famous
Food on which we’ve all been sold
Trading friendship, understanding
This is important, Perspective is everything…

Everyone has the right to be happy…

Breathe

How cold the sky, how cold and grey
As bitter mists around me lay
Their clammy hands upon my skin
Too stifle that which lives within

And too my knees, my knees and hands
As anxious weight upon me lands
Depressions spectres boil and seethe
Since I've forgotten how to breathe Never Love Again

I hear you call and turn to where you stand
But only memories caress my hand
Your warmth no longer keeps me from the cold
I only have a photograph to hold

I used to see forever in your eyes
I heard the love and passion in your cries
I never thought that I would see the day
When we would feel it all just slip away

The angels sit with folded wings and cry
To see this gift so rare allowed to die
And deep within the sorrow and the pain
I know that I will never love again

Once more

Smile for me once more before I go
That smile that caught my heart so long ago
The promise of a life, no more it seems
Smile for me just once and let me dream

Hold me close once more, a last
