Indifference

You hear me but don’t listen
You look at me but don’t see me
You talk at me not to me
I hear you and listen
I look and I wait
One day you’ll wonder
Where has she gone
Without realising what you did
When you pushed me away
With your ignorance
And indifference
My day is nearly here
I will be a person again
I will find myself
I will rediscover that lost part of me
Then you’ll know and maybe you’ll
finally listen
