Ignored Affection - Ben Hedges

Ignored Affection

You are here beside me.
I feel comforted by your presence,
But you do not see me standing there.

You speak to me.
I soak up your words taking in your past and future,
But you do not hear my voice swinging back.

You welcome me.
I enter your world, see your sights, make my time yours,
But you make me feel like a stranger in a crowded room.

You lie to me.
I’m told that my feelings should not be tarnished.
But you provoke the storm clouds over my head.
