Song Title Conversations



I know you can't hear me -

no one ever can.


That's why I scatter my thoughts,

comments, and ideas all over my world

for the few people who actually care

to find at their own leisure. I know you -

you are genuinely curious, that's why you

have found my every physical hiding place

and mental cottages and libraries

holding the only known dictionaries of

my own special languages. I know you -

you have already realized that most of this

is meant for a specific little group of people

who don't even try to understand

what I am doing. Not the way you do at least.


I know you can't hear me -

no one ever can.


That's why this will wait here for years

and years, looked at by hundreds -

maybe even thousands of people none of whom

will quite get it and then you will go scrolling through

trying to catch up on what you missed

when you refused to care because it just hurt you -

I like to say I know you, but the sad truth is

I only ever knew you and that has long since ended.


I know you can't hear me -

no one ever can.
