Magnanimous

This house is now barren and cold
 Where once it was scented, overgrown
 So glad to be leaving this misery
 Silence, eternal sterility
 Someone said, "You want to think you are good"
 No: I don't care what I think
 When most people would rather hate than communicate
 You are different, you have something to say, now
 But now you're so far away
 In word and body, what can I say?
 Could you understand my desperation
 Magnanimous you, understand my attention
 Unwanted as it was
 Hope is necessary, just like trust
 In every situation I find myself
 Grasping for some connection, anything, something like community
 But most people would rather hate than communicate
 You are different; you care what I have to say
 But now you're so far away
 In word and body, what can I say
 Could you understand my anger at them
 Magnanimous you, understand my reaction
 Irrational as it was
 Now you're so far away
 In word and body, what can I say
 What can I say that will sound the same
 On the other side of the electronic divide
