Listening is an Art



Some people hijack your conversations

They don't allow you to complete your words or sentences

They seize your words, they usurp your notions

They chew at it rabidly, 

then swallow them whole

not sparing the echoes even

Your words shorn off 

leaving your emotions disembodied

hovering in the air unsatiated

They then offer it to you 

Couched in their words and thoughts

disguised,  distorted , unrecognisable

You are all lost as you listen to them rambling away

You wonder

What were you trying to say

And where has it gone...

Meekly you succumb 

to the volley 

Of words 

you lapse into silence

Your thoughts and words

All scrunched up and crumpled

Yet again you are convinced

Silence is best, Silence is comfy...
