I never been one for, small talk.
For the most part, I speak to express my feelings.
[Something that took, recovery and years of therapy]
Why I think I listen, with a compassionate ear.
But what warrants a, turned up mouth or rolling eyes, when one speaks?
Some say they care.
It seems true.
Long enough to have their wants or needs, satisfied.
So, don’t ask me why, when I become silent.
Remember, I spoke.
You didn’t listen.
