Do You Even Care?

Poetry

You tell me you care about me, you tell me you love me,
But do you even care, do you even see?
You say the words so easily, like they’re just a game,
But when it comes to showing it, it’s never the same.

I’m here across the miles, with my heart in my hand,
But you seem so distant, like you don’t understand.
I’m facing this moment, a crucial event,
And all I needed was a simple message sent.

Just a “good luck” would’ve meant the world to me,
But you didn’t bother, you let it be.
It’s like you don’t even know me, don’t see my fears,
Or maybe you do, and you just don’t care.

I’m trying to hold on, trying to believe,
But it’s hard when you act like I’m so easy to leave.
You tell me sweet nothings, but actions speak louder,
And yours are silent, leaving me feeling soured.

I thought we were closer, I thought we were strong,
But now I’m questioning if I’ve been wrong.
Maybe love’s not enough, maybe it’s not all we need,
If you can’t even remember the little things that plead.

So here I am, feeling lost and alone,
Wondering if our love was ever really shown.
You tell me you care about me, you tell me you love me,
But do you even care? I’m not sure I see.
