Careless
As I slowly deteriorate
You turn a blind eye
As I cry for help
You plug your ears
"What do you expect me to do?"
Just say you love me.
"I can't help you!"
I need reassurance.
You can be so nice
But it's obvious you don't care;
I'm too bad,
Too far gone.
You can't help me.
But that doesn't change the fact
I need help.

I'm trapped.
I'm falling.
I want to give up.
And you just stand there.
You shake your head,
And you say you don't understand
How I can't be strong.
Because unlike you
I actually feel the pain.
If you care,
Keep me.
If you don't,
Leave me.
When I feel like dying
I want to hear,
"I love you"
Not,
"There's nothing I can do."
