ears are not enough

as his ears grow deaf
she wonders if he ever
listened to her heart

living with someone for life
hearing quiet loneliness

    Ouch. This is so sad and it serves as a reminder that we only have One who really listens. I believe that, existentially, we are are lonely and that nothing here can fill us.
