Literature Text

I'm screaming at the top of my lungs,
I'm shouting out the truth.
I'm yelling for you to listen,
You keep putting me on mute.

You hear the words but not the context,
not the meaning, but the lies
you claim that you're listening
but your attitude says otherwise.

Listen closely, read my lips,
I'm close to giving in
Hear the meaning in my words,
the truth behind the sin.

This is my confession,
you don't pay attention to.
If you had listened closer,
I'd still be loving you.
Something quickly written for :iconvivapoets:

The prompt was listen closely
