You could have changed you know
Been a better person
One to be proud of
If only you’d talked to me.
It wasn’t for want of trying, was it?
But you are so pig-headed
Stubborn and arrogant
Thought you didn’t need to listen
But it might have all turned out differently
If only you’d talked to me.
I could have saved you from the humdrum
Showed you your potential
Given you the freedom to explore
Well, within my confines, of course.
But it’s only a pipe dream
‘Cause you never talked to me.
Still today you turn away
When this topic rears its head
You say: “there is no point
When talking is only you
My opinion doesn’t matter
When I stop and talk with you.
You’ve re-written our history
Such that it favours you
Hardly surprising is it
That I refuse to talk with you.”

Talking to each other or communicating in general is the most important in a relationship.
Thanks, I agree ‘talking to each other’ is important as opposed to talking at each other.
This is so accurate on so many levels. Good one Michael.
Thanks so much Sadje best wishes
You’re welcome 😉
apt mention of pipe dream… calls to the image 🙂
“Well, within my confines, of course” – very crafty – well written
