Listening
I think I
have forgotten
To talk to
him
I haven’t
heard him speak in so long
Maybe I lost
the will
The ability
to hear
I used to
talk to him
When I was
young
And missing
him
Words
beneath my heart
Hidden from
the voice
A language
Only the lost
can hear
I heard him
call my name
I think I
have forgotten
How—can that
be true
Talk to me
now
I promise
I will
listen
I am
listening
What is
there left to say
What did you
forget to tell me
I have time
You can have
all you need
I have not
forgotten you
