So you talk.
And I listen.
I hate you when you talk,
But I hate me more
For listening.
So I put up a curtain
To block you out.
But your words cut
Through the flimsy seams.
The shreds lie at my feet.
I hold my tears back.
I try again.
This time I put up a door.
To lock your spiteful face away.
But you break it down and in the process
You break down my defenses.
I don’t give up just yet.
I put up a brick wall of complete silence.
You shout. You scream. You Curse.
But I can’t hear you.
I refuse to anyway.
So you used to talk
And I used to listen.
You try to knock down my wall.
but you end up hurting yourself.
You curl up into a ball of insanity and failure
but I am Oblivious to your plight.
You are Like Saturn my ring of hate surrounds you,
Make a false move and you will be engulfed by it
