A Word Enough

"A Word Enough..."

Listen up, hey you listen up!

You just don't listen

Why? why? why?

I'm beyond tired

It hurts too much

Please don't create a monster

A beast you can't tame

Don't make me do it

Throw things to be heard

Yell to be heard

Pick up the phone and curse

Just to be seen

That isn't I

Not who I want to be

How can you say you love?

And just can't be here

Be there and pay attention

Just how does that work?

Hey you, yes you!

Listen up please

Don't buy me a house

No not even a car

No the accessories can wait

Show some support

Some care won't be bad

Some respect even

Nurture this plant in front of you

And see it grow into

A tree that bears you beautiful fruits

Water that seed in your hand

See it grow into beautiful flower

To breathe warmth into your house

Make it homey

If only you'd pay attention

How many times do I have to say?

How long till you take a cue?

I'm beyond spent

Maybe when it’s too late.
