Misunderstood

are you listening? can you hear?
there are so many people walking, running.
but none of them are near.

so far away. are they ghosts?
me and you. we're so alone.
it's all too unreal, and morose.

understanding takes time. time is not enough,
when you're running on empty.
just listen. think. cast your slough.

i never learned without you. i never saw what could.
no one else even matters. 
it doesn't matter because we're misunderstood.
