The Unheard Echoes: A Heart’s Soliloquy

You never listen!

Sometimes I feel like you don’t care to understand who I am or what I mean.

You never listen.

You haven’t taken the time to know me.

I know you say you do, but you don’t.

You can’t because you never listen.

yet you don’t even notice when you hurt me like no one else.

You have repeated the same others have said about me before,

and it didn’t bother me but, when it came from you, it burned me.

but today I can’t. It hurts,

the words keep playing in my head like the video you sent me.

I have always been judged for how I am,

for being brutally honest, for being myself.

I never cared; it never affected me.

it tore me down, and I can’t stop that feeling.

You know, I will go to war with any country if they mess with you.

So why do you doubt me?

Why can’t I be myself around you without feeling you could be offended at any point?

I thought you loved me for who I am.

You say you love me, that I’m your best friend,

Usually, I brush that off, don’t let it affect me,

So, today when you doubted our friendship, my commitment to you,

I don’t want to change myself.

“In the silence of your absence, my words find no home, An echo chamber of my soul, where my truths roam. In the quietude, my spirit speaks, a monologue of the heart, A plea for understanding, before we drift apart.”
