i lied

©JMG

the only one that listens, the only one that hears
you think it will all be all right
when the ignorance goes away

obvious blinding fact of the time to go now
i want to say goodbye forever
but i sit in my silence listening to the deafening noise

this air pollution that reverberates off the empty walls
that are filled with the sighing indifference
i try to quiet my ears and the sounds in between
these breaths of hope or that which may

hoping that the gnawing will dissipate
this isn't what i thought it would be
maybe i'm the lost cause
