love will....

love will own a pair of oxfords 
love will talk to people with a grace that has never be seen before
love will give his mother a kiss on the cheek before he leaves
love will always love god
love will hold me for a little longer just because he wants to
love will give me a reason to talk a little faster
love will spin me around the dance floor
love will give me a reason to change 
love will give kisses on the forehead
love will laugh harder than is needed
love will speak kindness
love will talk to my Dad about politics
love will eat as much as i do
love will hold my hand in public
love will tell the world that he loves me
love will own a skinny tie
love will now how to wear a suit 
love will be good
love will let me be right 
love will let me be wrong
love will never yell at children 
love will dress to the nines
love will remind me of my brother 
love will give me a chance to be better than what i see 

not silence

i hear noise 
often i might hear words come for your mouth 
but only the feeling that you feel, is the feeling that will stay with me
why must you talk so loudly
why must you talk so loudly 
why must you talk so loudly
I must write because you will never listen 
talking is your strength i know
i know
i know 
i know 
i already know the words you will speak from your mouth
sweetheart i can finish your sentences because i have already heard them before
why must you repeat yourself
why must you repeat yourself 
why must you repeat yourself

the world will tell you the views of millions but never truth
what is truth 
dang it, i want the truth 
not your advise 
not your opinion
not how you did it
but i guess i don't want that either
just shut up and listen to me
i have listened to you for 18 years
so SHUT UP and LISTEN TO ME
you are horrible at listening
listen to me 
listen to me
listen to me
do not sit and node like a plastic doll
look at me in the eyes 
why must i ask you to look at me in the eyes
"don't you worry, i'm listening"
LIES
listen to my heart
listen to my blood that is rushing through my veins
listen to my cries to god that you will never hear
he listens to me, why can't you listen to me for second
listen 
listen 
listen
listen to my breath as i am running through the trees
listen to my heart as it pounds on the keys 
listen to the laughter that you have grown silent to
silent
i don't want silences
i want listening hears 
i want listening heart
i want a understanding of my words
