When I am Finally Seen

It was loud

    "She's talking..."

    "He said that was great!"

    "Yes, pass her that please..."

 

Relaying conversations were easy

Listening actively were enjoyable

Observing is in my nature

that, of others

 

Where there is noise

there is silence

When someone is heard

another isn't

Where one is seen

others tend to disappear

 

But a pair of eyes sees me

Hear my spoken words

Warm hands covering the sharp edges

and soft questions to calm my nerves

 

But the very same pair of eyes sees her

Hear her loudest without any words spoken

Marched in front of her to be pierced first

Conversation overflowing for he is the nervous one

 

It is still loud

and I am still observing

but it hurts to notice things 

 

 


Hello everyone, it's getting awkward hearing my own voice so I'm not sure how long I'll be continuing this spoken poetry.... But do enjoy it while it's here! Have fun reading and listening <3

Reciprocated

Because 
if I've said I love you... 

I could take on your offer
and barred my problems to you 
share my sufferings and doubts
and self-imposed judgements
till you want to listen no more

You could have been my saviour 
the shoulder to cry on
the one to rely on when I'm at lost
or to indulge about my sweet successions 
till it starts weighing heavy

We could have been more
No curfew for replies and calls
Of hugs that felt warm and safe
or endearing names said to each other 
Things I still could not imagine

Because 
if I were to say 'I love you'
would you have said it back?
