Selective Hearing

Selective Hearing

My hearing is that of a brick wall,
Because your words I hear not at all.

How the voice of an angel filters through my head,
No words are heard that I comprehend.

She says, "Your so good at listening to the TV."
"But I control it and it doesn't talk back to me."

My ears I've checked, their open waxless and clean,
Talk to me normal, you don't have to scream.

It is upsetting, I know,
When I've no clue of situations, even though you told me so.

I swear, " I can't understand why your words don't stick."
You reply exaggerating,"You don't care and your head is thick."

A frustrated smile stretches my mouth
Teeth clamp down on tongue so anger doesn't get out.

"Lady love, it's not my intention to be a bother,
Give me some chances and I promise to try harder."

Im getting away from my positivity of late but im getting back to it lol. Appreciate the comment sweet C, I can hear my wife tell me about events planned etc. etc. Yet at the time I don't remember her telling me anything or comprehending it, thus my selective Hearing. I really don't know why it goes in one ear out the other, oh well im working on changing that. My love and respect to you

A good morning,
to struggle opening the eyes wrestling the bed blankets away….
It’s flooring...
