a deaf ear

please don’t ignore me.

-

it brings back memories

of my dad.

of the man who turned

a deaf ear to

the i love you

from the backseat.

-

the i love you

that turned into

a screaming match and

cries of “i am your

daughter!

i am your

flesh and blood!

talk to me!”

-

so,

i beg of you.

please don’t ignore me.
