sometimes, i wonder
if i'm ever heard.
cries, screams and words,
into a void
all unheard.

i sit
and tap away
on my computer
because everyone is bound
by their own obligations
and i, by mine.
we all try
but never manage to find
shared time.

the computer selflessly volunteers
and it's always around.
i talk with my hands
and it listens,
patiently.
a little too patiently in fact,
for it never talks back.
and while i've said everything i've wanted to,
i find myself back in the same place
where i started.
cries, screams and words,
into a void
all unheard.
