Forgive Me For Asking

When you address me..
do you ever ask yourself
exactly who it is that
you are speaking to?

When you address me..
do you fail to register
the pained expression
on my tired face?

When you address me..
do you ever for a second
consider the consequences
of your sorry actions?

When you address me..
do you even have anything
important to say
in the first fucking place?

When I address you..
