Lost in Communication

Are we speaking the same language?
Or are our ears
taking in words
that were never meant
to be spoken?
Can you hear me?
Or better
Are you listening?
When I try to
clarify
I'm stopped cold
because what I am saying
doesn't agree with
what you heard.
It hurts
that wall you've
constructed
which only allows
small ideas
to enter
a tiny window.
I try to speak
to help you
understand
only to be
dismissed.
It is clear
there are two
interpretations
to this story.
What is yours?
I want to know.
Tell me.
So we can find out why
our stories disagree.
So we can find that loving
place.
