Talking to myself

Sometimes love

I feel like I'm talking

to myself

I can see that

you hear me 

And you've told me 

you care

But half the time

I send you a poem

or hold you close

all goes quiet 

I am left alone

with my thoughts

with my fears

I hear no words

I feel no warmth 

I am glad to know you

I'm honored to be chosen 

to hear your deep thoughts 

your sweet songs 

And truly 

you are worth it 

the moments of doubt and fear 

But when you remain silent 

in the face of 

my eternal babbling 

I feel alone

Like I'm talking 

to myself
