You Don't…

 

So you don’t call

(you never do)

And you don’t (smile) any more

(at me)

(ssh) you tiptoe past

and think I don’t notice (but…) I do.

My face is (not) scarred

(but) my eyes are pained

(and) my ears hear everything

every (piercing) word

straight through my (bitter) life

so you don’t care

(did you ever?)

And you don’t talk (any more)

So you don’t hear

(me)

When I try to see (you)

You’ve gone (far) away

And you don’t call

(you never did).
