Listening Walls
Listening walls
I know what you hear, my confidant.
The angered shouting,
The tearful apologies.
What do you make of these?
Do you judge me?
Do you judge her?
Listening walls
I know what you hear.
The passion of our loins,
And tender moments of bliss
Tucked away into quiet little memories.
Do you love her, as I have?
Do you love me, as she has?
Listening walls
Our lives are your entertainment,
A play we participate in
To a solemn audience.
When we leave will you tell our story?
When we are gone will you share our heart?
Listening walls
I know what you hear, my confidant.
