I Just Want To Know You Care

I sit beside you, words caught in my throat,

Hoping for a sign, some tender note.

I speak my heart, my dreams, my fears,

But they fade away, unheard, it appears.

Do you remember the stories I share?

The little things, the moments, the care?

I told you my secrets, my wishes so true,

But they slip from your mind, like morning dew.

Promises made, then swiftly forgot,

Leaving me wondering, do I matter or not?

I crave your attention, your genuine gaze,

To feel seen and heard, to escape this maze.

Every detail, every piece of me,

Seems to vanish, lost in your sea.

I whisper my thoughts, my soul laid bare,

Yet all I ask is to know you care.

Your words, they scatter, like leaves in the breeze,

While I stand here, longing, on bended knees.

Just once, remember the things that I say,

Show me I’m more than a shadow in your day.

I need to feel valued, cherished, and known,

Not left in the darkness, completely alone.

It’s not about grandeur, or gestures so grand,

But knowing you hold my heart in your hand.

I just want to know you care, truly see,

The woman who loves you, who longs to be free.

Free from the doubt, the hurt, the despair,

Please, just show me, that you really care.
