Don't Expect Me to Listen

Hey there, Father
I couldn't say how long it's been
Since I've felt like
You were on my side.
I'm here and speaking with You
Only to say that I
Have only missed You.
Although now I believe it's a lie,
My life seemed more sensible
When I was doing everything for You.
If not for You, then for whom?
The past two years of my life
I've felt like You've abandoned me
In my greatest hour of need
For someone, anyone, to save me.
Although you were always
The biggest part of my life,
I'm all grown up now
And I thought You should know
That I think of You sometimes
And mostly, only for a moment
But tonight, this feels different
And it could be just me
And my imagination
But it seems like, just maybe,
You are asking for my attention -

Instead of me asking for Yours

Don't expect me to listen.
