listen, do not speak.

Can you just listen to me?
Listen to me and not speak
Not give me any advice
just listen, and keep mum.
I know that your fountain
of wisdom is full of pearls
for everyone you ever meet
but listen, do not speak.
I know I should be positive
and maybe my sorrow is small
maybe i do overthink
but listen, don't tell me this.
Keep your face free of scepticism
don't give me exasperated sighs
or 'everything-will-be-fine's
be attentive, don't talk.
Dont mock my misery
in front of other people
do not tell them of my sadness
keep it to yourself, hush.
The walls i have built
do not allow me to get too personal
but I have now done it
please dont give me regret.
