Care.
Do you?
Do you care?
Really now. Be honest.
Do you care that my heart is broken?
Shattered- shards scattered on the floor.
Your lack of empathy seems apparent.
Do you fear you're inept to comfort?
Do you delight in my sorrow?
Is your apathy blinding you?
My pain is drowning me.
I wonder now.
Do you?
Care.

Someone fell into your eyes.
I cannot replace:
or erase them.

Money
staines hands,
Kills, when loved.
I find myself on Prospect Way
upon a sunny Autumns day
I find my head among the clouds
away from all the bustling crowds
Sitting lost inside my dream
is not as simple as it seems
The burning sun it blocks my way
now I'm back on Prospect Way
I knew you once
I know you now
But it’s just not the same
I’m not sure why
I’m not sure how
Or if I am to blame

We were once held
By friendship’s cord
Nothing could separate
Our days were filled
With laughs and dreams
But now we hesitate

Where once we smiled
Across the room
When our eyes met at glance
We now pretend
We do not see
As if it were a chance

Why, my old friend
Do we go on
As if we never were
What caused the drift
Of lives like ours
Is it my fault or yours
One look.
That's all it took.

I glanced and saw
Right into your soul
Caught sight of raw
Pain; sorrow and woe.
Then with a blink
It vanished, all gone.
Everyone thinks
That you are so strong.

In that moment
I saw ache concealed;
I can't forget
What your eyes revealed.
The person I thought I'd become
Has vanished suddenly;
And in her place I find myself-
Unsatisfactory.
