Fernando Pessoa - Your Eyes Go Sad
Work rating: Medium

Your eyes go sad. You`re not
Listening to what I say.
They doze, dream, fade out.
Not listening. I talk away.

I tell what I`ve told, out of listless
Sadness, so often before…
I think you never listened,
So you`re away you are.

All of a sudden, an absent
Stare, you look at me, still
Immeasurably distant,
You begin a smile.

I go on talking. You
Go on listening - your own
Thoughts you listen to,
The smile as good as gone,

Until, through the loafing
Afternoon`s waste of while,
The silence self-unleafing
Of your useless smile.
