Walk, Talk, Listen

She talks,
He listens,
He says something stupid,
Does something wrong,
She goes silent.

Seeing a cold anger lancing from her eyes,
He relizes maybe he wasn't really listening
The way they both thought he was.
Maybe he was too literal
To decipher the metephors she threw at him,
He thought they were just her funny way
Of talking.

He tries to blame it on her.
It's wasted,
She won't listen.
He better watch the way he talks.
He's walking in the wrong direction.
This time,
She's not catching him.

"lancing". Great verb.
I like verbs.
