Silent Listener


I'm a silent listener,

I hear all you say,

When you think I'm busy,

Informations stored away. 

 

I know your little secrets,

A truth I won't admit,

And I know all the gossip,

But no words ever slip.

 

It's not that great to listen,

For no words are allowed,

I'm forced to stay in silence,

Listening to the crowd.

 

A listener's world is smaller,

Than a talker's will ever be,

'Til they find another listener,

Then it's all the talkers in the world,

Against only you and me.
