conversations.

you are speaking to me
of that much i'm aware
but behind your words
i feel like there's more:
as if you were addressing me
to communicate something other
than what you are telling me.
i respond mindlessly
with words that mean nothing
mirroring your language,
and hoping deep inside
you realise I'm addressing you
to communicate something other
than what i am telling you.
And so do we keep on speaking
not saying anything at all,
and yet saying everything
we both want each other to know ...
